Macro photography captures the magical world of snails.

Most definitely some of the cutest shots of snails by Ukrainian photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko.
These adorable photos of the molluscs will melt your heart.

Vyacheslav Mishchenko is passionate about the less obvious and more fragile parts of nature, where little creatures like insects, molluscs, reptiles and amphibians dwell. Living in their own macro world, these little things probably don‘t even notice the curious Mishchenko as he captures the most intimate and sensitive moments of their delicate lives.

I love this one:


But this one is my favorite!

More of his photos can be seen here.

Fantastic shots. I think when you get into this type photography that you'll find it amazing how marvelous things that are so small and not thought of are and overlooked by so many.

I agree, I love macro photography. The fine details in this world are amazing.

Weird about the link.. It's working for me??

Some really great shots there! I love macro photography. I recently purchased a macro lens and plan on really getting into it.

That's awesome. Yeah I agree sometimes it's better to remain anonymous on the internet. I have an alias for a reason.

Those little dudes are so adorable, interesting to see them at this perspective.

Whenever I see a snail on the sidewalk, I move them out of the way so they don't get squished. Don't know what it is about snails but I think they're just too darn cute.

Just look at this little dude stretching for a during of water! Squeee!

Love threads like this! Thank for sharing

PS.... ATS needs an animal forum!

These pictures are clearly a diversion for what is really going on in this world !
Humour attempt over.

Thanks for the pics and links
Probably the most beautiful pics of snail I've ever seen.

You know what? I didn't like snails at all...until just now. Seeing them like this puts them in a whole new, amazing perspective. This is a gifted photographer. Thank you for sharing.

Sweet, thanks for that. I failed with the link and now it's too late to change it. >.<

I love this one. He's peeking over and waving like "Hey guy! How's it going?"

reply to post by SalientSkivvy


That's one of my favorites too.

Thanks for posting this thread, brightened my night

lol no problem. I just saw this posted on FB and had to share the snail love!!

Nice pics of the snails. I see them all the time and they do have their candid moments. I enjoy observing nature, but only in recent times can you capture it with photography.

Other times I like to capture snails for dinner =) (they are a common food here, and the best times to catch them are a sunrise/sunset)

Awwww how cute!!! Gorgeous pictures!!!!
You love snails, I have the same love for dragonflies.....here is one with both!




Thank you for sharing!! S&F!

One could really get slugged a lot for slowly traversing ones eye over those pictures if the photographer wanted to charge!

Thankfully on ATS we don't have to shell out to see such wonderful things!

And then they say that animals don't have a consciousness and it's okay to kill them...

Thanks for the photos. It reminds me on how beautiful this world can really be.
