Olympus E-M1 + Oly 60mm f/2.8

60mm + 26mm extension tubes, f/2.8, 1/25s, ISO-250

My first attempt at snowflake macro, and while not the best I think it was a cool learning experience. Snowflakes are so beautiful. I love how nature is chock-full of fantastic fractals. Next is to attempt some focus bracketed shots. All images were quickly processed with Darktable.

    Awesome pictures!

    I’m seeing a bit of LoCA (longitudinal chromatic aberration): maybe something you can try to work on with Darktable. Stacking should also get rid of it.

    Please take it as constructive as possible, the photos are really nice :)

    EDIT: sorry for commenting a 1 month old post :D

      They increase the distance between the sensor and the lens, which allows you to get closer to the subject than the lens typically allows. This effectively increases the magnification.
