Found a little Snailshell and some old leaf in the garden. I had to illuminate it from below with a flash, to work out the speckled structure of the snail shell and the leaf.
Ich habe ein kleines Schneckenhaus und etwas Laub im Garten gefunden. Ich musste es mit einem Blitz von unten beleuchten, um die gefleckten und gesprenkelten Strukturen herauszuarbeiten.
Empty apple snail shells were arranged on an x-ray plate to obtain this image on x-ray film. I then photographed the radiograph.
I don't often do a still life in black and white but here it seemed to work better than the colour version - so why not?
We should learn from
the snail: it has devised
a home that is both
exquisite and functional.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Intentional Blur" (April 24th 2017)
I found this challenge very difficult. On the rare occasions I use iCM 'in camera motion' it is on landscapes, and not on tiny macro subjects of only a few centimeters!
The choices - there were so many. Which lens? What subject? Move the camera or the subject? What background - colour etc.? what lighting? what camera settings?
I threw away so many shots - thank goodness for digital!!
Finally I chose a few subjects - set the camera on a tripod -and decided to go with the simplest option of a horizontal movement of the camera.
Even going for the 'simple' I found it difficult to shoot anything BUT the blur. To get any idea of what the subject was became a challenge in itself.
My final choice was this small 2cm snail shell set on glass and lit only a little from the sides. I used a 4 second shutter speed, and the total movement can't have been more than an inch or two!
Not so good, but the best I could manage. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone managed to tackle the challenge - much, much better than I did, I'm sure ;o)
Happy 'snail pace' Macro Monday to everyone! ;o)

Hello everybody and a Happy Macro Monday. On this picture you see a slug i found today at a tree in our park. On the snail shell you can see that structure of this nature formed body. I hope you enjoy that Colors and that changes in light and shadow.

Some areas of Graciosa Island are covered by billions of empty snail shells. Unfortunately I didn't figured out how they get there. Please tell me if you know the reason.
La Graciosa is the smallest inhabited island of the Canary Islands. The island is part of the Chinijo Archipelago Nature Reserve since 1986. I discovered the island during 2 days by foot & by bike.....despite the strong winds a fantastic nature experience! The biggest challenge was not the wind but finding good photo spots. The area is highly sensitive to human impact and as usual in a nature reserve, it is not allowed to leave the paths. You are strongly encouraged to obey the rules. Traces from cars, bikes or even people can last for many decades and the destroyed vegetation needs a very long time to recover.

Giersch ist ein Wildkraut, das sich schnell im Garten ausbreitet und nicht mehr so leicht entfernen lässt. Aber es hat wunderschöne zarte Blüten, die auch bei Insekten beliebt sind.
Zudem sind die oberirdischen Teile essbar. Nur die Wurzel gilt als giftig.
Picked this shell up on a walk today.

I prefer my sister's alternative suggestion "A Snuggle of Snails" as a far more descriptive collective noun :-)

Neben den üblichen einheimischen und exotischen Ausstellungsstücken eines Naturmuseums, wie Mineralien, Versteinerungen, präparierten Vögeln und Säugetieren, Insekten, Krebstieren, Korallen etc. vertritt das Haus der Natur - Cismar ein besonderes Spezialgebiet: die Schnecken und Muscheln (Mollusken). Die Sammlung von Schnecken- und Muschelschalen ist besonders reich an ungewöhnlichen Stücken und mit mehr als 5000 ausgestellten Arten Deutschlands größte Weichtierschalen-Ausstellung. Sie bietet einen übersichtlichen Einblick in die fast unermessliche Vielfalt dieses zweitgrößten Tierstammes mit Schalen von Sandkorngröße bis zu einem Meter Länge in allen Farben und Formen. Viele Schnecken und Muscheln im Haus der Natur - Cismar sind echte Raritäten und zum Teil einzigartig in Europa.
In addition to the usual domestic and exotic exhibits of a nature museum, such as minerals, fossils, prepared birds and mammals, insects, crustaceans, corals etc., the House of Nature - Cismar represents a special area: the snails and shells (mollusks). The collection of snail- and mussel- shells is particularly rich in unusual pieces and, with more than 5000 species on display, Germany's largest shell exhibition. It offers a clear insight into the almost immeasurable diversity of this second largest phylum with shells of sand grain size up to one meter in length in all colors and shapes. Many snail shells and mussel shells in the Haus der Natur - Cismar are real rarities and sometimes unique in Europe.

Many thanks for your coments and favs.
Frozen bubble, snail shell, tip of a submerged colorful log and submerged leaves under the ice. Looking straight down from a wall. Things like this catch my eye and only last a short time.
Sorry for so many photos at one time, just saving some memories since haven't been out much. No need to comment, please. :)
