Planet Fibonacci

#MacroMondays

#Shell

 

A simple one. This white/cream-coloured snail shell has been sitting on my shelf as part of a miniature scene for ages. I don’t recall when or where I found it so it’s probably a childhood or teenage find. This time, The approach was pretty straightforward: "Take the snail shell and photograph it in an interesting-looking way." In my mind's eye, I saw a high-key image with a strict focus on the Fibonacci spiral, so you might ask yourself how I ended up with a low-key, planet-style space-themed photo. Well, I started off by taking a few (nice) images with softer and lighter tones but when I experimented with the light, and I got this low-key image, I thought that it looked more dramatic than the soft-coloured previous attempts. And since it also reminded me of a planet with a giant and eternal storm roaring at its pole, I was sold (you know how much of a sucker I am for all things sci-fi) ;) But actually, I was torn between one of the lighter-toned images (in which you don't recognize the shell at once) and this low-key version, so I might upload that other version as well, probably for Wednesday Macro. So stay "shell tuned" :)

 

I’m busy today and hope to catch up with you tonight!

 

HMM, Everyone!
