Seashell With Critters
Another old shell that we brought back from Baja that I decided to exploit.
Lighting: In order to show the shapes I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. I placed a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at the right side of the shell. The strobe was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. The shell was pretty bleached out from sitting outside in the sun so I converted it to black and white using Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro 2.0.
I have quite a few sea shell pictures, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, they're in my Shells album.

Other black and white images that I've attempted are in my Black and White album.
