Reflected Sea Shell

This is a shell that I picked up in San Felipe on my last trip to Baja.

 

Strobist info: I placed this shell on a mirror to photograph because I like the extra dimension that it shows. Side lighting with one YN560 in a 24 inch soft box, camera left at 9 o'clock. I used a small hand mirror to reflect some light onto the right side of the shell for fill. I didn't need to use a black background because the exposure that I used of f22, 1/200 and iso 100 didn't allow for any ambient light to be recorded. All of the light came from the strobe.

 

Other sea shell that I've photographed are in my Shells album.
