Shapes And Shadows In A Sea Shell

I brought this beautiful shell back from Baja California, Mexico six years ago because I thought it was worthy and wanted to photograph it with a proper lighting setup.

 

Lighting: I propped this up on a piece of black Perspex, and then lit it with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastoite soft box positioned at camera left. Fill light is from a hand held 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 Objects set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

 

Other shells that I've photographed can be seen in my creatively named Shell album, and there are over.
