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 think that your euipment is ok for this. You've to hurry up and you should use focus stacking. I would recommend to use a frozen little glass plate for the snow flakes. But it in the freezer and take it out before you go out. Or use branches with new snow flakes.

Be careful with the wind and changing light conditions if you use focus stacking.

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 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 .

I will try to train myself with ice on my fridge
