I took this with a canon macro 100mm 1:2.8 USM lens that I borrowed from my friend Jonathan Hood.
Sadly he has it back now.

Burial - Shell Of Light
"The Sound Shell was commissioned in 1967 by the Rosebud Foreshore Committee from the local architect Ronald Murcott and was completed in 1969. Rosebud had become a popular holiday camp site and recreation area, and the sound shell was part of a series of improvements made along the foreshore in the 1960s. Murcott had an interest in the unusual roof forms popular in the post-war period and their potential to span large spaces. He had already designed a church and a car park with roofs in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid (or hypar), a special form of double-curved shell, the geometry of which is generated by straight lines, which makes it fairly easy to construct. He used the same form for the sound shell, in this case of reinforced concrete construction. Murcott was assisted in the design by the engineer Dr John Brotchie of the CSIRO Division of Building Research, an expert in the analysis of concrete shell structures, and J L van der Molen, a local pioneer in the application of computer technology to the design of concrete structures. The builder was Trevor J Luck.
The Rosebud Sound Shell has a free-standing reinforced concrete shell in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid above a stage on one side and several enclosed rooms (formerly toilets and storage facilities) at the rear. The roof plan is roughly a diamond-shape, measuring 23 metres by 21 metres. The thickness of the shell varies from 762 mm along the central axis to 508 mm where the lower corners touch the ground. On the stage side the roof rises to a height of 8.8 metres and is slightly lower, 4.9 metres at the rear. The walls below the roof are of concrete block construction. These have now been painted with murals. Since the structure was completed barriers have been added at the lower corners to prevent access to the roof."

Still fishing around for old images to play with, because I cannot walk well enough to shoot anything new. Two more weeks til surgery. Yeah!
Tiny shell photographed with a microscope using a 2,5x objective. Apprx 6 panels stitched in microsoft ICE. Had to drastically reduce the image size for uploading.
A present from my cat, who brought the shell inside stuck to her fur, so i realised i had a new subject to shoot. :)

27 Jan - photo a day 2016.
This shell was purchased during our first trip to New Zealand.
Haliotis iris, common name paua, blackfoot paua or rainbow abalone, is a species of edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalones.
This species is endemic to New Zealand Blackfoot paua is the largest abalone species found in New Zealand. It is most commonly found in shallow cool waters at depths less than 6 m. These sea snails often form large clusters on open, exposed coasts, where drift seaweed accumulates and there is good water movement. Blackfoot paua grow to about 180 mm in shell width.

Taken in Clifton, Ohio.
Clifton is a very small rural town of 151 people (2018) who's major attraction is the Mill run by a water wheel on the Little Miami River. At the mill, the river (more of a stream at that point) drops into Clifton Gorge which is an amazing place to see. The land around is almost table top flat and all of a sudden, there is this beautiful gorge you wouldn't expect to be there and can't see from the road even though it is only a few yards away in many places.
There are a few out buildings around the mill that are covered with old signs like this one. During Christmas time, the entire grounds of the mill are decorated with lights. I've seen all the lights and decorations during the day, but never at night. Apparently it is a very well attended attraction. .
She sells sea-shells on the sea shore;
The shells that she sells are sea-shells I'm sure.
So if she sells sea-shells on the sea shore,
I'm sure that the shells are sea-shore shells.
Obviously, I've totally run out of names for sea shells.
For this shell, I wanted to show the translucent quality so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the shell to focus the light on the part I wanted to light up. For fill light, I used a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box, camera left, in front at 7 o'clock, and then used a small hand held mirror to bounce a little light onto the right side. The strobes were in manual mode and I took several test shots to get the lighting ratios that I wanted. The strobes and my camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other sea shells that I've photographed over the years are in my Shell album, if you like this sort of thing.
One little and lonely shell sitting by itself, poor little shell. Not taken on the beach!!
