Cowry Shell With Specular Highlights
This is a very shiny and reflective shell which I placed on a mirror to photograph. It was a little difficult to photograph because the light shape from the soft boxes shows on the shell, and I'm not sure how to get around that.
I lit it with a YN560-iII in a 24 inch softbox at camera left and a YN560-II in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox at camera right, both pointed toward the center of the shell. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find sea shells to be beautiful objects from nature, and have photographed quite a few of them over the years. Other shells that I have photographed are in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
