Reflecting On A Spikey Seashell

I brought this shell back from Baja California Mexico, and it's been sitting out in the garden for the last six years. I brought it inside to photograph this afternoon because it's raining today, which is a rather rare event in San Diego County.

 

Lighting: Placed on a piece of black Perspex, and then lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox positioned at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera left.

 

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 200 of them.
