Like snowflakes, it’s often said that no two frost crystals are the exact same. This fact couldn’t be clearer than in a video shared by a photographer named Ryan. One morning, he spotted an interesting-looking patch of frost on the ground. Luckily, he has experience with microphotography. In short, this simply refers to taking close-up photos of all sorts of objects, though they’re typically small.

This type of photography may sound simple, but there’s a lot that goes into it. For starters, you need the right equipment to get the best zoomed-in images. But it’s 100% worth it for the results. Speaking of which, check out Ryan’s video below to see the breathtaking photography that came out of these frost crystals!

Breathtaking Photography of Frost Crystals Reminds Us of Nature’s Microscopic Beauty
It’s truly no wonder so many of us are endlessly fascinated by frost and snowflakes. It’s like nature-made art! While many folks have contributed to our knowledge of frost and snow over the years, Wilson Bentley has to be one of the most important.
Wilson was the first person to photograph a single snow crystal in 1885. Plus, he captured over 5,000 images of snow crystals in his life, reportedly never finding two that looked the same. In other words, there’s no doubt that photographers like Ryan can thank Wilson for paving the way! Because, in addition to his photos, he had wise words to share, too.
“Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others,” Wilson once said. “Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind.”
