For my two pictures this week, I took advantage of the cold weather the past few weeks, and got some good snowflake pictures. I was able to use my macro lens to get some good detail. The settings on it were ISO: 800, and shutter speed: 1/60. Aperture cannot be changed with my macro lens.
For the shoot, I used black printer paper as my base. I kept it outside for a few minutes so that it could adjust to the outside temperature. This way, the snowflakes would not melt. Black fabric or wool also works, and is sometimes better, because it is softer; it will absorb some impact and more snowflakes are less likely to shatter. The colder the temperature, and the drier the air - the better snowflakes will form.
