Reflected Beauty

A friend and I were playing around with lights yesterday, and grabbed this shell to practice on.

 

Lighting info: We wanted to show the translucent quality of the shell, and in order to make it glow we placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the shell at camera right for back lighting. The main light was a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box placed camera left at 9 o'clock. Fill light came from a hand held mirror in front of the shell to bounce some light into that area. The two strobes were in manual mode and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other shell that I have exploited over the years can be seen in my Shell set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290/
