Advertisement Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Hi robert_parker, Take a look here Sammy Snail. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted August 7, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2006 Robert - Very nice capture with very nice detail, focus & bokeh. Perhaps a primer for us all on stop-action photography. When we were in the Cappadoccia region of Turkey a pair of young boys offered to guide us to some early Christian cave-churches high up in the walls of a canyon. On the way down they filled their pockets with snails to take home to eat. the boys were fast enough to catch the snails. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uulrich Posted August 8, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 8, 2006 Within my 10 square metres is Sammy, who kindly paused (well, I think he paused..) to pose for this photograph. Digilux 2 with Elpro - D, iso 100, 6-bar jpeg. [ATTACH]4710[/ATTACH] seems to be a bit flattered by the attention you paid. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 10, 2006 Uwe + Leicamann - Thank you for your kind comments - he was blushing a little !! Brent - I'm afraid he wasn't 'fast food' !! Stuart - lucky he wan't one of the dreaded High Speed Snails of Dartmoor - they've been known to drive a man mad by leaping out of the bog and circling at high speed, covering their victim with slime....

uulrich Posted August 12, 2006 Share #10 Posted August 12, 2006 Well, not that it is of any ones interest perhaps but do you have a model release? I got the impression that your subject is getting more and more attention and I am just puzzled.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

semrich Posted August 13, 2006 Share #12 Posted August 13, 2006 Sharp is when you can see the cobwebs next to the snail and remnants of the flower hanging in it, and this has it. Incredible photo, I wonder how the plant can support the weight of the snail. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_parker Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted August 14, 2006 Richard and Al Thank you for your kind comments - Richard, apparently Sammy is on a diet this week - he's working his way through a bed of lettuice with several of his slug friends !!

uulrich Posted August 14, 2006 Share #15 Posted August 14, 2006 [...]Sammy is on a diet this week - he's working his way through a bed of lettuice [...] I think he prepares himself for his next shooting. It's crucial for him to stay in shape, modeling is a highly competitive business... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
