Snail (week 31/08)
Aug 4th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
Last week was bit rainy and as a result snails were trying to escape puddles by crawling to the road, where they faced other kind of dangers. Even though I knew that there are various snail species, Wikipedia was once again able to amaze me. As a result, I am not going to start guessing, what sort of snail I have in this photograph.
If we study technical aspects of this photograph, high ISO value makes me wonder if I should have tried to use speedlight as on-camera flash and see how well it can be used together with macro lens (especially when ground surface is wet). Oh well, maybe I’ll try that next time.
Technical information: Canon EOS 40D & Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro (1/100s, f/8, ISO800)
