 Crop, levels, curves, sharpen.

Find banana slug. Very wet forested areas are good hunting grounds. Pick up banana slug - use Kleenex to avoid having the thing stick to you - place on white foamcore board with some of his habitat. Take many, many pictures of this gooey, slimy creature who DOES move just enough to cause focusing problems.

Put him back.

PS I will do a lot for photography, but I will not wait around for that trail of slime to make itself visible to the camera.

Where, oh where, is the trail of slime?! Icky, yucky, gooey creature nonetheless.
