pauledell Posted May 29, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 29, 2014 Hank, I really like the first one. It shows him in maneuvers with the First Snail Armored Division of the front yard army. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2014 Lovely. You must have used a very fast shutter speed to freeze their movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted May 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Bill, yes, sometimes we are snails, I mean photographer snails. Thanks for your nice support. Hank, indeed, I pondered about how to capture the "takeoff". The solution was an open lens. Thanks for your snail-time. Paul, yes, indeed the fellow was quite quick and I thought to be quick also because otherwise he would have stopped his nice gliding. Thanks for sharing your time with this subject. Stuart, I did shoot open lens 1.2 to get the effect on the second picture. The first one you are right, The fellow moved quite "fast" . Next day I went there again but no snails could be seen.

andkeen Posted May 30, 2014 Share #8 Posted May 30, 2014 Great subject Iduna. I like the B&W one best. Snails are much maligned and worthy of our photographic attention. Today I listened to a radio gardening programme where someone had written in to say she steps on every snail she sees:confused: Your pictures tell a different and much kinder story.

Iduna Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted May 30, 2014 Andrew, how nice to report on the radio programm. Yes, I admit that gardeners are ready to kill the ordinary type of small black and those red naked snails which are spoiling our plants. But these with a house are so nice and pretty. These are not being seen plenty of them either. Thanks for joining the snail level.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted June 2, 2014 thanks, John. I am glad you like the series. I can imagine more and next time I'll use a macro lens perhaps. Or do a longtime exposure ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
