Shell Sign
Cambridge, Massachusetts
The shell sign has received a facelift and what a clear day to get a shot of it. Pretty bold colors right out of the camera!

I put my last pack of Time Zero film into my SX-70, but it was ooooold: smelly film pack, frames stuck to each other, battery struggling. So I popped it out, but the mirror was stuck. The best cure for a stuck mirror is to put in a working pack, so I went for som Fade To Black I've still got. I think the stuck mirror was confused as it didn't spit the darkslide out immediately.
No bother - tripod mount, close-up attachment, shell; click. Nothing. Click again, and out it comes, but clearly the film had been hooked forward a little before exposure, hence the dark patch at the bottom, and the framing much higher than it was in the viewfinder. Oh, and I accidentally nudged the exposure wheel towards dark. I don't mind though: I like this underwater shell...

...the shells she sells,
are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells
on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells
Seashore shells!.
sometimes strange idea comes in your head...
I found this shell on shore of one lake in Russia. I still don't know, why I took it, but today I decided: I want such a macroshot - with a lot of senseless information symbols. As our World.

Quite a few on the beach at Bournemouth most years.
A dip in to the Treasure Hunt for today's image. This open shell was beachcombed from Tasmania
Shell #61 for the Treasure Hunt
Haven't been shell hunting in weeks, I never find a good shell through the summer, they are either picked up by children or mashed under foot and damaged. Today was a good shell day and a beautiful sunset at Calshot

Shell seemed to lead an erratic existence in southern West Virginia. As best I can tell they were there in the 1960s and were mostly gone by the late 1980s. The brand later reappeared via Go-Mart convenience store conversions (which didn't last long), and via Texaco conversions (which are still around, though few and far between on the roads).
This red-and-yellow artifact of the past stood in Wyoming County, WV. Almost nothing else remained of the site.
I keep meaning to put this shell into the turtle-tank, but I just know they'll bite pieces out of it, and it seems such a shame! If only they appreciated the lines and curves and beauty.......oh well!

For strobist readers:
An SB-24 camera left, a 580ex camera right. Each is set to ~1/8 power (which means that the 580ex is throwing more light), and diffused through a piece of paper that I folded to make it stand upright. The backdrop is an article of clothing I wasn't wearing, and the minor reflections you see beneath the shell are from a stand made from two paperclips.

Shell Beach, within the Shark Bay world heritage site. The beach stretches for 60km and in places is up to a depth of 10m. See flic.kr/p/2dbpoqN for a close-up of the shells.
The high salinity of the sea in this area has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment. Before becoming a conservation area the compacted shells were made into bricks and used for building.
