I photographed this seashell at a workshop I attended this morning.
Lighting stuff: I placed the shell on a piece of black perspex and lit it with two Yongnuo YN560 III strobes, one in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left, and the other in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find sea shells to be beautiful objects from nature, and have photographed quite a few of them over the years. Other shells that I have photographed are in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
I drew a box with distorted perspective, such that seen from the angle of the camera lens position it would be seen correctly. Then I placed the shells without covering the foreground vertical and top lines of the box.

jewelry before gems, art before canvas.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
Each Sandpiper came with its own small seashell. I added to them with seashells I collected from Sanibel Island in Florida a few years ago.
Theme: "Sandpipers"
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
I had an unplanned trip to the beach today with the good lady and Mij the hound.
A gentle breeze made the temperature very comfortable, but I now realise how strong the sun was - ouch!
I spotted this shell at the edge of the sea, you can no-doubt spot the massive 1" breakers in the background!
Seashells from around the world.
