Reflecting On A Back Lit Glowing Seashell
This is an old shell found years back on some beach in Baja California, Mexico.
Lighting: I wanted to show two different perspectives on this shell, so I put it on a mirror. Because part of the shell is fairly thin and translucent, I decided to back light it in an attempt to make it glow. The back lighting came from a hand held Yongnuo flash in a Rogue Grid behind the shell at camera right. The main light was another Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. The strobes, and my tripod mounted camera, 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.
