on his way to see Sally for a playdate :) by Kiwi_GaL.

Kiwi_GaL says:

hey you changed your icon again!! i almost didn't recognised you! :P
and yes i know about the movie and i thought it was cute with "When Gary meet Sally" thing....LOL
maybe Tony can do a collaboration with both of them in photoshop and call it "When Gary Meet Sally"? wouldn't that be cool?!

ohh i almost forgot about yours....should we round them up together with Julian's racing snail too and have a big playdate? LOL

thank you everyone! im just going to lunch now and will come back and visit your stream a bit later ;-)

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Oh yeah, it's time for Gary again!! But how do we know it's really the same Gary in all these shots? Does he have any distinguishing marks?? This is as sharp and beautiful as can be!

Kiwi_GaL says:

he stays indoor in one of my plant....im just hoping he wont do much damage to it...its quite a hardy plant...amazingly he seems to be quite happy staying there, he is a really small snail, i think he is a baby snail because its the size of my pinkie :P

the dof is lens wor...i actually shot this portrait size and flipped it the correct way...so the dof is actually a horizontal line unstead of vertical....but since this was flipped it looked like its running in from top to bottom....does that makes sense? :)

tripod tripod tripod! i can't do without it specially when im shooting moving subject (even at snail pace lol) because of my unsteady hand :) eventho i shoot mostly wide open i still get camera shake without my tripod :P

LOL because we only have one snail at home and he never goes anywhere....should we put a tatto on him so you guys can recognized him? that would mean tho rite? he is au natural right now

JessieLoTW says:

this is sooo gorrrrgeous, i think the mr. snail must be showered before took this shot, otherwise she wouldn't be seen so clean, huh? how cute it is and lovely colours and light here... :)
