Cool ramshorn macros - Aquarium Advice

Angry the Clown · 02-15-2007, 09:17 AM

I finally got my camera back from repair. What a saga that was, and the journey my camera took... UPS is no longer one of my favorite companies

I digress.

To make sure everything is in working order I broke out the old macro lens, and sat in front of my aquarium and snapped the following pictures. Obviously, these photos are presented much larger than life size, and the last picture should give you an idea of the type of magnification I am talking about. These are of some of my ramshorn snails.

And a picture of some snail eggs.

Thank you all for the kind words.

I am SO happy that my camera was finally returned. Don't know why, but I feel lost without it... even when I'm not using it.

Wow, how did you take those? I'm assuming they're all right against the glass. Great work.
