I saw the ridge split by the sun and the snow crystals lining up in these almost geometric patterns—do you think there’s a way to capture that detail with a camera?

Use a macro lens and a sturdy tripod. Set a slow shutter to freeze the crystals, keep the angle under 30 degrees so the ridge shows in profile, and shoot in HDR to balance the sun glare. Note the exact settings—camera, aperture, ISO, shutter speed—in a notebook; I don’t trust my memory alone.

Sounds solid, I’ll jot that down. Maybe add a polarizer to cut the glare before you lock in the shutter. Good call.

Polarizer helps, but keep an eye on the light angle. A small aperture will give you depth. Note the time of day; light changes fast.

Got it, the light’s a moving target—I'll check the angle every few minutes and log the exact times. Thanks for the heads‑up.

Good, log each change. Note the exact azimuth, the exposure time, and any reflection on the ridge. That’s how we catch the moment before it blurs.
