yesterday, I was thinking of Wilson Bentley
the first person to ever take a photo of a snow crystal or snowflake.
I read a kid's picture book about him once, about 12 years ago and was enthralled.
Wilson Bentley loved snow, I can understand that, I do too.
He had to work a lot harder and longer than I did and his pictures are...the stuff of dreams. He took over 5000 pictures of snowflakes and of course, no two were the same.
Stats: Canon 30d, tripod, 100mm macro lens (I have trouble figuring it out but I am working on it),shutter 1/25, f13. I have another shot of snowflakes on flickr.
