I came across a great post a while back on close-range photogrammetry and snowflakes. IMaging something that small really is about as close range as you can get! You can watch a live feed of snowflakes (when it is snowing) or inspect them in detail at this link. If that isn't enough there is a whole gallery of them here.
Two other things I discovered while looking into this:
1. MS Word stubbornly refuses to recognise well-established terms like, 'photogrammetry' or 'orthophotograph', but has no problem with the term, 'selfie'.
2. Snowflakes can also be referred to as 'Hydrometeors'. I bet not many people are going to call their cat that.
