I found the shed skin of a gartersnake which had been exposed to the elements for at least 2 weeks. The “scale” is from the body and at the right you can see a bit of the pattern of it. With polarizer movie you can see a bit of the pattern better, but it looks a bit better directly viewed than the little clip I’ve made…any tips on how to improve the quality?
