Exhausted, tired. Taking the last steps from the car into the house. The camera bag over the shoulder. Happy to be home again. But suddenly a colored spot. Small and to my right. I decided to stop and to look a bit closer. A snail, a very small one. About 1.5  cm long slides beside my way. Okay, i think, here comes the macro. Just threw the M.Zuiko 60 onto my E-M1 and snapped the pictures right away. Exhausted or not…

Arg, it should be a focus stack but that damned snail is moving, slow but fast enough to prevent a stack. I tried different apertures and their effects on sharpness and bokeh. Well here you see the little guy with f2.8 and a wonderful creamy bokeh

Not always easy, you have to feel your camera position and how it is orientated. But with a little training you will have the wanted success. Don´t try for 100%, 90% is OKAY !!!
