Snowflake, ice

[Greg]

Hi !
I hope you're well, I know i'm not really active but it's not easy for me to get free time ^^
And I saw I lose motivation during winter ...

But I need to get it back, I know the snow will come in my city, later and I hope I will be able to take picture of snowflake
but i don't know if I will be able to take it (never done this before)

Do you think it can be ok with my stuff ? Panasonic GX 80 + Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro + Raynox 250

here is an exemple of what I wanna get :

I have only captured frost and have yet to capture the snowflake I would image it takes a lot of photos to get an excellent image such as this. Wishing you great luck on your quest.

In my opinion Greg , you already have macro setup, adding Raynox attachment, will help to get you closer to the snowflake. I have not experienced any shooting with Raynox. I believe Helix_2648 could give you a better advice here or @Mentor .

Snowflakes are really tiny subjects so a high magnification ratio is needed. I think 3:1 is fine and maybe with your 60mm and Raynox DCR250 on MFT you'll be not to far from this magnification. I'd like to do same thing but snow is a bit shy at home...

I will try to train myself with ice on my fridge

Don’t forget, you need cold environment, outside or either inside, but you might think to buy a glass box or something which will hold cold for enough time for you to take that photo.

I read some advices on the web, for snowflake, the better thing to do is to put a wear like a scarf and shoot snowflake wich fell on it.
I hope I will get snow ><
