I present a series of photos with snails, made using the bokeh method.
I live in Poland. I have been dealing with artistic photography for 8 years. I especially like photographing snail motifs.
Photography is my passion, a kind of meditation, giving me relaxation and a reset from the hardships of everyday life.
Bokeh is a transliteration of the Japanese word bo-ke, which means blur. We pronounce the word "boke." In photography, it is a way of rendering out-of-focus objects beyond the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use this shallow focus technique to create photos with visible areas out of focus.

I love snails. I always save them from the sidewalk or the sun. Sometimes I even order a salad to my job so they can refuel and rehydrate before I let them go in a safer spot. I have videos of them eating carrot strips!
Stunning-- it makes me think of a scene from a fairy-tale.
I didn't realise just how tiny and delicate they are. The shell looks like the size of my thumb-nail.

It's not hard. In fact all you need is a range finder or dslr with exchangeable lenses and buy some macro or long lenses.
