I took these pictures of a snail this morning. I used a D800 with a Nikon 105 f2.8 macro lens.

I'm guessing you didn't need to use a fast shutter speed on them :)

Thanks for looking. No, I sure didn't use a fast shutter speed. He was a shy little tyke though and kept pulling his head back into his shell.

I used a Nikon SB900 Speedlight with the small rectangle that comes supplied with the light. In the future I plan to purchase one of the diffusers I have seen you recommend but that might be next month.
Thanks for looking and for the nice comment.

Dennis these are very good captures. Very pleasant illumination and great detail on the snails from the shell to the skin with good composition to boot...

So that's what pre-escargot looks like??

Did you invite him to dinner with a bunch of his friends?

Considering how much this is cropped the detail is wonderful. You must love the 800.
