Glowing Multi Fingered Sea Shell

This is a shell that we picked up off of some beach in Baja, and brought home to beautify our garden. I believe that it's some kind of conch, but my knowledge of sea shells is a vast dark continent of ignorance.

 

Lighting: I wanted it to glow so I back lit it by putting a Yongnuo strobe in a Rogue grid directly behind the shell. The main light was a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch soft box at camera left for side lighting. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera right.

 

I've exploited quite a few shells over the years, and put them in my Shells album.
