I like how this showed up the different shades of browns, tans and golds...
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.

I'm guessing there was some of the old resident left in there!
HBBBT Hope you all have a good day. ;0)
So I have been attempting the reverse lens technique. This is handheld and boy is that focal length tiny! This is one shot that actually turned out decently but many, many, many, many others have not. I've been keeping my 50 on the camera and reversing my old kit lens. I'm still trying to figure it out obviously! LOL... This is a little snail camped out on this plant that I still don't know the name of. I have taken pictures of it in the past (the plant not this snail).
Have a great day! :)

I Just couldn’t resist to take a Good snailphoto
Messing around with macros and strobes. I can see now that I needed more depth of field. Next time I guess I'll drag out the big strobe.
This snail is only about 1/2 inch across and that gives you a sense of how small the Horsetail is. Horsetails grow in wet places. Horsetail or Equisetum arvense is derived from the Latin equus, meaning "horse," and seta, "bristle."
An herbal remedy dating back to Greece and Rome, It has been used to stop bleeding, heal ulcers, wounds, TB and kidney problems. Today, Horsetail stems are used to mend broken bones and form collagen and as a supplement to treat and prevent osteoporosis.
Horsetail is a descendant of huge, tree-like plants that thrived 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic era. Dried Horsetail has silica crystals in it and has been used historically to polish metals, especially pewter.
