Longing for summer warmth

Shell polished so mother of pearl shows through.

Large Shell Australia

I know, everyone does the nautilus shell. I've done it before on film onto palladium.

For this image I wanted to see if the digi-snapper could retain the subtle details that I expect from film. For auto focus and autoexposure, the $300 camera didn't do half bad, eh?

The resolution and quality of these images at full resolution is astounding to me. Makes me want to sell all my traditional film cameras and go completely digital.

So... if you know of anyone interested in a Mamiya 7, maybe even a few 4x5 view cameras and lenses... keep me in mind...

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!

While we're on gas pumps, I happened to remember this old shot from a bike tour many years ago. Pre digital days, the photo was most likely taken with one of the small Olympus clam shell cameras.
