The soft pink colour of this shell was enhanced by bouncing a bit of light back in with a pink post it note just out of frame top left. The bleaching was a simple one click effect using Smart Photo Editor.
coquille
Je suis tombรฉ pour nager
et j'ai laissรฉ mon coeur en arriรจre
J'ai laissรฉ mon coeur vers le bas
comme la coquille dans le sable
I fell to swim
and I left my heart back
I left my heart down
like the shell in the sand

I liked how I held this shell up to the sun and the light kind of showed through it. I added a textured background.

The smallest shells in my collection, which I brought many years ago from Bulgaria. This bigger one is exactly 20mm long :)

Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
So my old macro lense (Tamron 90mm) died a death, due to fungus :\ Had to replace it, like for like, and I remember why I liked this lense so much in the first place. Slapped a Raynox 250 on it and got this macro of some very small shells. The focus is *ever so slightly* off, but it's good enough.
A tree entirely made up of of beautiful sea shells directly off the beach of Cayo Costa Island, S.W. Florida. (only accessible by boat) We each hung our shell and admired the beautiful wildlife at this wonderful Nature Conservation Reserve.

I wanted to put something with the shells, but couldn't think what. Then I remembered that these 2 buttons are made from shell. One is oyster pearl and the other smokey pearl. They're both over 100 years old and date from the 1890s/1900s. Buttons to the rescue again. :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday group theme, Seashells and/or Snail Shells.
Taken with Pentacon Auto 50mm f1.8.
Another shell that I brought back from a trip to Baja California, Mexico five or six years ago.
Lighting stuff: I first placed the shell on a piece of black Perspex. I then lit it with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right. The strobe 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 1700 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.
This is an old sea shell that I brought back from Baja California, Mexico years ago.
Lighting stuff: Side lighting from a Yongnuo manual flashes in soft boxes on either side of the shell. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
