Caramel Colored Sea Shell

This is an old sea shell that we brought back from Baja years ago, and I thought it would make an interesting still life subject.

 

Lighting: I used side lighting on this because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera left. The strobe and my tripod mounted tripod were triggered with 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.
