I have never been a big fan of critters that crawl. Feels like a slimy, slithering creature crawling up. This particular "land snail" was taking its own sweet time to walk across the stairways last morning and I could not help (the critter stalker) grab my macro lens to capture this leisure stroll. Most macro shots, I take it in Aperture mode (Av) but I need to learn to use other modes to take them (Shutter speed mode (Tv)). I set the ISO to low to ensure that I did not overexpose but judging from the above pictures, even a 200 ISO might have been too much. My experience with Shutter speed seem to indicate that I need a tripod to really capture the picture but I may be wrong. Maybe I just don't have a steady hand.
Word of the day: Anthropophilic - Species of snails that are more often found around human habitation.
