Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov shows us with a little creativity and ingenuity anything is possible. To create some of the most spectacular Snowflake photos I have ever seen, Kljatov used an old wood stool, a sheet of glass, steel wool, an LED flashlight, a narrow wooden board, one plastic bag, some tape, a Canon A650 camera (a $200 point & shoot camera) taped to an old Helios 44M-5 lens (reserved). If you would like to learn more about how he did it check out his blog post – “My Techniques for Snowflakes Shooting“
