All these wonderful peaceful shots of friendly fauna make me wish I had something similar to share. Instead all I have is a shot taken a couple of years ago in mid-autmn, when I went to hangf out some laundry one morning and interrupted a poor bird’s breakfast. bird food
It looks like it. They have this very peculiar slime on them; if you pick them up you get it on your hands and it won’t come off even when you wash them (your hands), you have to scrape it off. Very clever; I suppose the advantage is that it doesn’t get dissolved away by the rain, but how does it work? It can’t be oil-based. I bet Dearieme knows.
Wonderful photo… did you get a macro lens?
Goodness, I’d no idea you could comment on individual photos like this. Well done.
No, it’s just the same old lens, but I’m working on it and I cropped it a lot to make the slug bigger on the page.
You’d think you could eat slugs, but they’re mostly water.

Did you polish it with wax before shooting it at close range?

Ah yes, this is much better than mine. But then you clearly have a great camera.
