Yes, I'm still at it! ;) When life gives you frigid, blustery cold "lemons"...
Thanks to Joel's encouragement, I made this photo from four or five separate images using Helicon Focus (I was Helicon virgin 'til today!). So, again, I'm learning, progressing. In this photo, I used the normal light source for the microscope (after re-wiring it), which is why the color is a bit different (tungsten lamp through a blue filter). Not much else to tell about it. I'm looking forward to further experiments...
It is interesting to see how the air bubbles are trapped within the crystal structure... ;) Oh, and this is from a flake that fell yesterday, so it has had a bit of time to erode/sublimate. We might have a fresh snow tonight...

You're definitely getting the hang of it, and in the process, I'm learning about the life cycle of snowflakes. Using this technique with a fresh flake should produce some very interesting results. I like the blues here.

You have a steep learning curve Tim. This is the best yet. Really like the blues.
