Post your best Macro shots

Very nice.....what material are you using for BG?

Thanks, Joel!

After seeing Jayson's wonderful snowflake shots, I wanted to find a smooth, dark background free from the fibers found on gloves or mittens. Joel, I know that you often have lovely backgrounds that are 'free' - forest, field, etc, but I spare no expense for my hobby. Accordingly, the smooth, dark background for my snowflake shots cost over $30,000.

In all fairness, I should point out that this particular background just might have a few other uses, such as transporting three kids in their car seats.

I just brushed off the glass, waited for attractive snowflakes to land on it, and shot the pictures (handheld) before they slid down off the glass.

That is an expensive prop!

Here is a new snowflake from the most recent storm. I sure wish it wasn't so dry. I only had about an hour of shooting before the snowflakes weren't recognizable. I took John's advice and tried a better background. This is a 12 shot stack.

Here are a couple more from the bubble try

A little too much moisture on the latest round of flakes. Ever wonder what those ice pellets look like up close?

Very cool. I have to learn how to stack one of these days.

What was your process for capturing and stacking the images?
