Sea Shell With Interior Glow
This is another of the beautiful sea shells that I acquired on our recent trip to San Felipe in Baja California, Mexico.
Strobist info (for those who are interested): I placed this shell on a mirror so that I could show more aspects of it. This is a very thin shell that is almost translucent in the light, and my goal was to back light it so that the interior would glow. I also wanted to show the detail, shapes and textures in the shell, so I used a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox as my main light, but positioned it about 11 inches from the shell, camera left at 9 o'clock. The back lighting was accomplished with a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind and slightly to the left of the shell at 11 o'clock. The strobes were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-6603N. Down below in the comments you can see the setup shot for this image.
Other sea shell that I've photographed are in my Shells set.
