Snowflakes!

  • Born in Feb. 9, 1865, on a farm in Jericho, Vermont.
  • As a child he studied all forms of moisture.  He kept a record of the weather and did many experiments with raindrops.
  • He is known for photographing snowflakes.

Bentley is one of the first known photographers of snowflakes. He perfected a process of catching flakes on black velvet in such a way that their images could be captured before they melted.

Here's a photo of a snowflake from 2014.... My friend Shelly gets the photo credit   She did an amazing job, even though she told me, "The wind makes this very difficult, I did get one! Focus is hard the wind blows them away as I find them."
