Close Encounters of the Snail Kind
Young Brian is a huge fan of science fiction. So when he is offered the amazing opportunity to go on a galaxy quest, he bravely enters the alien spaceship on a star trek to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no snail has gone before. I just hope he remembers to phone home...
For Macro Mondays theme 'Desk'. The alien spaceship is my computer mouse with its red light. This is a tiny juvenile snail with a shell approximately 6 mm in length. This image posed a few technical challenges owing to the generally dark quality - I had to use a much higher ISO and longer shutter speed than I would normally to get a reasonable dof on the snail.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
