The Delicate Snail...When I was done with shooting waterfalls at Hazelbrook I switched to my Tamron 90mm macro lens and went in search for some likely subjects.
I stopped at this large moss covered log looking to shoot the mini forest which was growing on the side of the log (with all manner of tiny delicate moss, fern like plants and other greenery) It was very bright with harsh direct sunlight streaming from above so I setup my tri-grip diffuser to provide a pool of soft glowing light above a moss covered area. I was framing up a spread of miniature forest when this fantastic colourful snail wandered into my view. It has this almost translucent orange shell with interesting swirls and patterns and was pretty tiny (the shell is smaller than my little finger nail). I framed various shots as it wandered through my mini forest... Suggestions, recommendations, etc always welcomed...

Re: The Delicate Snail...They are just pure magic! And technically lovely. You are a gifted photographer.
Can anyone identify the snail? Can you send a copy to the Australian Museum and ask if the snail can be identified? Just in case it's a new or unknown species. Regards

Re: The Delicate Snail...
Yes. That's Monsieur S Cargo. I remember having him for lunch a couple of years back. Rodney, What Matt says: these are wonderful images, displaying great use of the light, as well as great composition. You did very well, and especially so considering the pace at which these guys can move. I'll bet the motor drive was really humming. g.
