With winter in full swing, it’s an ideal time to visit the world of snowflake photography. Wilson Bentley was the first to take magnified photos of a snowflake crystal, and he published his technique for others to follow. Current pursuers of the fascinatingly beautiful art are nature photographer Mark Cassino, Caltech physics professor Ken Libbrecht (sometimes he grows his own flake designs in the lab) who published a book with photographer Patricia Rasmussen, and scientific photographer Ted Kinsman. The variations in the crystals are astounding with some surprisingly simple and of course the amazingly complex.
