Fascinating macro snowdrops in the photo of the Russian master

A good photographer does not need an extremely expensive technique to create high-quality images. This statement was actually proved by the Russian Alexey Klyatov, who specializes in macro photography, creating pictures of insects, flowers, etc. But the most amazing works of the photographer can rightfully be called shots of snowflakes. To work with such fragile "models", Alexey made his own device by combining a compact Canon Powershot A650 camera with a Helios 44M‑5 lens from the Zenit camera. Klyatov uses his own unglazed balcony as a studio.
