January 2025 Focus: Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley
Have you ever heard the phrase “no two snowflakes are alike”? Photographer and meteorologist Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley demonstrated this on his family farm in Vermont on January 15, 1885. Bentley was the first to develop a process using a camera and microscope to capture the beauty and uniqueness of ice crystals falling from the sky.
Join us to learn about Wilson Bentley and capture your own digital image of a snowflake using a method inspired by Bentley’s 1885 technique!
