Glowing Translucent Sea Shell
I can't identify this shell, but it's one my wife brought home from the store for me to play with, as I find sea shells to be beautiful objects from nature, and fun to try and light.
Lighting stuff: First I placed the shell on a piece of black Perspex. I wanted to make the translucent parts of the shell glow so I lit it from behind with a Yongnuo strobe in a Rogue grid. Fill light came from another Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. I used the side lighting to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The two strobes were 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.
