An Old Friend

[danza]

A snail, from ages ago.

This pic was posted way back, in colour. I did a bit of a B&W action on it, and it popped (not the snail ).

C&C welcome

How do you get the clear background? I always wondered this and have tried using paper or similar but it never comes out the same.

I did shoot it against a white background, and processed it using the B&W action Cykey posted up ages ago.

^^ There.

Works very well for portraiture in particular.

I see what you're saying on the DOF side too Gord. The snail was on the move, so much lower a shutter speed would've given motion blur in it's head end!
