Scallop Shell In The Light

This is an old shell that we found on some beach in Baja California, Mexico, and brought home to decorate different areas in our house and garden.

 

Lighting: Side lit with one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, which was hand held at the left side of the shell and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1600 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

 

Other pictures that I've taken of Sea Shells can be seen in my creatively titled "Shells" album. If you like this kind of thing, it has over 200 images in it. I did wash the shell and then clean it with cooking oil before photographing it.
