Glowing Orange Sea Shell
This is an old shell we brought back from Baja that's been weathering in our rock garden.
Lighting: I wanted to accomplish two things with my lighting - to emphasize the shapes and textures by using side lighting with a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left, and make the shell glow by back lighting it with a second Yongnuo strobe in a Rogue behind the shell. The strobes were triggered by a Yongnuo YN622N trigger. Fill light on the right side came from a small hand held mirror.
I fine sea shell to be beautiful creations of nature, and enjoy photographing them. I have an album of pictures of shells in my creatively titled Shells album, if you like that sort of thing.
