As part of Rice Creek's Celebrate Snow winter festival, Professor Michael Peres from the Rochester Institute of Technology will be presenting a talk entitled "Photographing the Best Snowflakes." This talk is a Rice Creek Reflection, sponsored by Rice Creek Associates. Participants can attend in-person or via Zoom (see dial-in information below).

Talk Description

Professor Michael Peres started photographing snowflakes in 2003 at the suggestion of an RIT  student who had recently seen the work of Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley at the Buffalo Museum and Science Center. That initial push exposed Peres to what has been a fascinating continuum of experimentation and improvement to make stellar photographs of these natural wonders. Peres will share his story of perpetual curiosity, his photographs, and his methods in this casual and richly illustrated presentation.
