Sea Shell #2374

Obviously, I've totally run out of names for sea shells.

 

For this shell, I wanted to show the translucent quality so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the shell to focus the light on the part I wanted to light up. For fill light, I used a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box, camera left, in front at 7 o'clock, and then used a small hand held mirror to bounce a little light onto the right side. The strobes were in manual mode and I took several test shots to get the lighting ratios that I wanted. The strobes and my camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other sea shells that I've photographed over the years are in my Shell album, if you like this sort of thing.
