I took this photo at the beach. One shell was fould on the beach and the other is from Pottery barn. I placed them between the rocks and the waves would roll in . I was hoping to get some bokeh off the water, which I did but also had to run after the shells when the waves took them away. But it was fun!!

This is a teensy starfish...it's actually sitting inside another shell :)
Used coffeeshop's butterscotch vintage action
Recently my son found this shell in our garden and wanted me to take a picture of it (he knows that I like to take pictures of bugs, insects, weird objects etc). So, I thought of giving it a try even though this shell is damaged (left lower corner) and not in perfect shape. After many permutations and combinations, I zeroed on capturing it against the light coming from the window. So, I placed it on a white paper on the window ledge.The light entered through the shell aperture/mouth and made it glow (kind of). So, I took this glowing concept a bit further and processed it such that the glow was enhanced a bit. It is a very minimalistic shot but somehow the end result is quite OK.
Shot this with my Sigma 70-300 lens which doubles up as a decent macro lens between 200-300mm. My experience with this lens has been mixed as it goes very soft beyond 200mm. But since I don't have a dedicated macro lens, this lens comes in handy at times.

Another old, beaten up, weathered shell from a beach in Baja. Even thought the shell isn't pristine, I like the shapes and color.
Strobist info: A simple one light setup. I placed this on a mirror and then positioned a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox, camera left, about 4 inches from the shell. I held a large silver reflector camera right to bounce some light back on to the dark side. The strobe in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

ODC, Polychromatic or Multicolour
Monday was one of those struggle day when it came to taking photographs.....it happens from time to time, but always passes.
I got home late and hadn't taken anything multicoloured, so quickly set up these shells with a light. They may not be multicoloured with reds, blues, greens and yellows, but they have many tints and tones of brown :)
Fabulous '70s font!
Cover of a souvenir booklet with lovely color photos of a wide variety of common (and, today, probably less common) sea shells of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.
Circa 1970s. More information to come.
Tropical themed Hawaii cake with frangipanis shells and surfboard. Ribbon supplied by birthday girls mum so the cake was made to feature those colours which were the decor for the party. Its been really wet all week so nothing dried but the cake came together in the end. The HSC exams were on when the birthday girl turned 18 so the party was delayed

Derwent Coloursoft pencils on A4 Canson sketchbook paper
This piece was followed with so many bad coincidences, that it's already a win it's finished and uploaded...
First I meant to do it on Canson Mi-Teintes sand paper, but my KIN pencils just didn't want to work on this surface. So I put out my new 24 pc tin of Coloursofts. They are lot drier in compare to the creamy KIN pencils, but I decided to try them out. Although the test in the sketchbook went ok, I failed again on Mi-Teintes. The time was running out, so I just finished the piece in the sketchbook...
There was a special reason why I didn't want to miss out this month's challenge.. it's exactly a year since I entered a CPM challenge for the very first time and I wanted to compare my entries and see the progress - if there's some ;) - I made in the last year :)
The flint Shell House at Bicton Park contains an international collection of seashells from around the world. The area is accessed by a maze of footpaths weaving their way through the ferns. Exotic tree-ferns now grace an almost primeval rocky glade, created at the start of the Victorian 'fern fever' era.
Bicton Park Botanical Gardens is a tourist attraction on the southern part of the former Bicton estate. The landscaped park includes historic glasshouses, a countryside museum, the Bicton Woodland Railway train ride, nature trail, maze, mini golf, indoor and outdoor children's play complexes, restaurant and shop. The gardens, which originated in c.1730 are Grade I listed.
The four glasshouses at Bicton Gardens were designed to re-create the natural environment of plants from different continents. The Palm House was built in the 1820s to a curvilinear design, using 18,000 small glass panes in thin iron glazing bars. The Tropical House is the home of the Bicton orchid (Lemboglossum bictoniense), named after the Park where it first bloomed in 1836. The Arid House features cacti and other succulents growing in a naturalistic desert landscape.
