Red Starfish In Black And White
This is a starfish that my wife found and brought home for me to play with. Down below in the first comment you can see the color version. I like the color version, but I think the shapes and textures stand out better in black and white.
Lighting: I placed the starfish on a piece of black Perspex and lit it from the right side with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box placed at 9:0'clock. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera left. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N
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.
