Anabela Gabriel Åström

June 22


Yesterday, I found this "beauty" outside, brought him-her up to the appartment, tried to take a good shot, but the light was not good and didn't want to burn it under 500 W.

Decided to keep "it" overnight, give "him-her" some lettuce leaves, put IT in a plastic box and covered it "loosely" with a colander, so that IT could breathe.

This morning, IT was gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can imagine how cool it is to know that you have some slug running loose in your home LOL
But IT didn't manage too long, and luckily for him-her, I found IT before Millie LOL

I could finally try again.
Had to wait long, to have it as I wanted. I wanted to capture the breathing pore open.

Now, he-she is free again, "running" wild:-)

Anabela,
This is a great shot. Photographing something black can be SO hard! You got this just right! Amazing that he escaped, huh? As for the breathing pore ... well, heck, I didn't even know a slug HAD a breathing spore, so I've learned something today ...

I thing it's safe to say that this is one of the more unusual photos (and stories) on Pbase. Well done.

Guest 23-Jun-2004 17:40
Oh wow I love how you managed to capture every last detail of the texture! Must have been hard too... black isn't that easy!
