I just bought some new color pencils from faber-castell: 36 Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils....
I like that you can use a small amount of water and make some areas covering like watercolor....and with the same pencils using them as a normal pencil...drawing lines and covering areas...I find them very good....used to work with Stabilo color pencil, which i still find are good...but these are better.....
an old photo from this summer of a snail shell....a nice motive to work with when discovering the way the faber-castell Albrecht Dürer colour pencils work....
So easy to work with.....
I also bought some faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils and here i bought 120 different colors...but i haven´t tried them yet....but think that trying these watercolour pencils is promising for the polychromos...
Als Schneckenhaus oder -gehäuse wird die spiralförmig gewundene kalkige Schale der Schnecken bezeichnet.
A humorous and detailed macro shot capturing a garden snail carefully peering over the edge of a weathered wooden table. Right behind it sits a miniature decorative house, making it look exactly like this little mollusk is checking out the local real estate market for an upgrade! A lovely blend of garden charm, soft background bokeh, and a touch of wildlife comedy.

For the Macro Monday theme "Junk" (March 10th 2014)
Possibly very familiar to you - my small (but growing) collection of snail shells from the garden ;o)
After years of clearing out sheds, cupboards, wardrobes and the loft - I find myself collecting fanatically again! This time a lot of my treasured items must look like pure junk to anyone else! Dried leaves and seed pods, snail shells, feathers, bits of candles, useless and broken spectacles, and glass, mirrors and more glass! Shot with the Sony NEX-6 using the E30mm F3.5 macro lens

These beautiful giant rainforest snail shells are from our forest. They make great decorations and I have them everywhere. These are on a sundial by the poolside.

I like how this showed up the different shades of browns, tans and golds...
Last Friday Morning was really foggy and a rushed Helena out to get some pics. While we were in an alley she found a snail shell and insisted that the snail was still in there. She named the shell Flap she got upset if I called it a shell.
002/365 - Snail shell.
It was the second day of my 365 Photo Challenge. This time, I took the image very late in the evening. I thought about the shooting all day, but work kept me away from getting all the pieces together for it. Finally, it had been 22:00 when I was able to start.
Nevertheless, it was great fun to set-up the scene and to adjust the lighting and position.
The set-up required only a few items. As a light source, I used a LitraTorch, shading and directing its light with a pair of running gloves (Did not find any other things!).
The torch I fixed on a Manfrotto Single Arm 2 Section.
The rest was just tweaking the angle of light and adjusting the position of the snail shell.
Slow Worm / anguis fragilis. Homefield Wood, Buckinghamshire. 01/06/18.
Another great find whilst orchid hunting in Homefield Wood. It had been a long time since I last saw a Slow Worm, so I was very pleased!.
I think this is an adult female judging by the thin line running the length of her spine. It looks to me as though she has shed her tail sometime in the past.
Spent some time focusing on the intricate geometry of nature with this close-up study. The stark contrast between the smooth, chalky spiral of the snail shell and the rough, gritty texture of the earth made for a perfect monochrome translation in Photoshop.Trying to isolate the micro-textures and tonal shifts to create a tactile feel in a two-dimensional frame.
