I found this baby snail on the sole of my shoe after a walk on the colorful carpet placed by the autumn in the nature. While I was taking my shoes out I noticed the small passenger that probably hitchhiked many ours of crawling by sticking up. Of course, not without risking being smashed in the process.
How to light a small thing? Well, given that the size of light source is relative to the subject, a small flash is like a huge beam for this small critter. The light was provided by a single 480EX taken wireless with a PocketWizard TT5(on flash)/TT1(on camera). The flash was handheld behind the subject to achieve the backlight effect. No modifiers were used on the flash to get the well-defined directional light (although I could have used a honeycomb to avoid the flare I got in several other trials in this series)
