Slow junction
Lens: 50mm 1:1 Camera: K-01

I had this idea of tiny tiny snail leaving the tracks in the mist on a glass - had some attempts few months back and now decided to post some PP'ed shots - the snail was tiny, no longer than 5mm. First shot nearly at 1:1 - you can even see a tiny air bubble trapped in molten glass , second shot at about half of life size.
Slightly more pronounced grain is intentional. --manntax

yes indeed it was not trivial - to be honest I was actually surprised !! The greatest challenge was ... the snail itself as it *constantly* moved - and this slow motion made an impossible nearly task to catch it sharp ( no flash and slow shutter speed ). I think these shots was taken at 1/3rd of a second - which was too slow to freeze the *cough* 'action :P that was my first attempt to photograph such small snail - It took a pure chance that I saw it in the first place
