If you haven’t seen it yet, The Huffington Post has published online a stunning gallery of photos that show the amazing intricacies of each snowflake, with the help of new photographic technology.
Here’s how the folks at HuffPo explain it:
“… Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov has devised a clever way to bring the wonder of macrophotography to the minuscule world of snowflakes. Using a homemade rig comprised of a working camera lens, a wooden board, some screws and old camera parts, Kljatov captures the breathtaking intricacies of snow, six-sided symmetry and all.
“The wide range of shapes Kljatov manages to document certainly support the claim that no two snowflakes are alike. And while the tiny crystalline sculptures appear too perfect to believe, the dedicated photographer is able provide detailed instructions in both English and Russian for artists who wish to replicate his process.”
NOTE: If you're wondering about the seemingly hairy backgrounds behind these snowflakes, another image on Kljatov's website reveals that some photographs are taken just as the snowflakes fall onto a carpet.
