Scallop Shell Reflection
A friend and I were playing around with lighting today and decided to see what we could do with this scallop shell.
We placed the shell on a mirror, standing up and leaning against a glass block to keep it propped up. In post processing, in Photoshop, I used the black paintbrush to paint anything that wasn't part of the shell, pure black. Lighting was from a hand held Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other shells that I have photographed over the years are in my creatively titled Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
