Photographer Brad Nordlof captures many large-scale panoramic scenes of the natural world, but these snowflake images capture just the opposite. Photographed using a high-powered DSLR camera, these incredible snowflakes only form within a narrow range of temperatures, and melt after just a few clicks of the shutter.

Landscape and fine art photography have long been a passion for Nordlof, whose stidio is based in Rockford, where he prints and frames his artwork for professional and residential settings. To learn more about his work, visit www.bradleynordlofphotography.com.
