Lots of snails here as well with all the recent rain…

And there was more rain, enough to flood part of the neighborhood and some highway exits… and the slugs and snails rejoiced!

Not terribly sharp because sunset was approaching and it's not a fast lens — even snails were becoming too fast…

I have never captured a snail or even looked at it like this but they something of a living fossil according to science, almost unchanged for millions of years, kinda awkward in appearance as well. Thanks for sharing.

Tilt and shift adapter or a swirly lens?

I just wondered because of the bokeh/sharpness distribution, very unusual, beautiful image though.

He/she is looking for action so it seems, good capture.

It looks like you shot two animals at once because there's a tick on the outside of the ear.

Thanks! No real special gear, merely the Panasonic 14-42 ‘Pancake’ with a 10x macro filter adapter in front of it (from some relatively cheap set I bought long ago, but the quality is pretty good). The camera was basically resting on the floor, which provides for the extreme depth-of-field effect.

I was thinking either tick or hearing aid...
