Sea Urchin Shell
A sea urchin shell found on the California shore.
For strobist readers:
An SB-24 camera left, a 580ex camera right. Each is set to ~1/8 power (which means that the 580ex is throwing more light), and diffused through a piece of paper that I folded to make it stand upright. The backdrop is an article of clothing I wasn't wearing, and the minor reflections you see beneath the shell are from a stand made from two paperclips.
