Photographing Snowflakes

[cliffpov]

Anyone here have experience with this? With winter coming on here in Montana I would like to give it a shot. From what I have read there appears to be a bit of equipment to buy to get good detailed shots of the crystals. Just wondering if anyone with experience here could shed light on the equipment/techniques involved to get good photo's. Thanks.
