Shells from ancient fossils to today's breakfast egg. Shells come in many different shapes.
My contribution for this week's theme «Shell»; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Skal från fossiler till dagens frukostägget. Skal finns i många olika skepnader.
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag och veckans tema «Skal».
This is a pretty tiny shell, less than an inch long and a half inch wide. I used 3 stacked extension tubes 36mm, 20mm and 12 mm.
Does the little bit on the end of this shell look like a little shell eye to you too?
I like to think that there is a whole little world inside with little shell creatures looking at live feeds from the "eye" on little TV screens, analysing response tactics to the environment on their little shell computers, initiating their outer shell of silence until any potential danger has passed, and then cheering and jumping about and giving each other little shell creature high-fives. That little hole in the spirals under the eye is their emergency escape hatch I reckon. In an emergency, the ConchChime goes off and they throw a little shell creature ladder out the hole and make their escape while whatever they are escaping from is busy at the main entrance. There may have been a little hero shell creature stay behind to distract whoever they were escaping from, maybe named the Coral Crusader. I hope he/she made it out safely! Must be a tough life being a little shell creature, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
PS - I like shells, but then again, who doesn't!

I enjoy taking these shots, and have done so ever since taking this one flic.kr/p/8xybfW with a Pentax 645, back in 2009 or so. The effect of the barrel distortion and vignetting really captured me.
However, when I saw this shell on Traeth Ynyslas, I did not have my 645 with me - it is languishing, awaiting repair to the winding mechanism; rather, I had an ME Super and a K-S1 with a choice of 50mm DA-L or 28mm Pentax-M lenses. It was bright, and windy, and the light was complicated, so I opted for the old Pentax-M Lens on the K-S1, as it would allow me to have a few goes, as it were. I am convinced that 'digital' makes me lazy, though it does force me to learn from my mistakes and disappointments quickly. Anyway, I didn't frame it properly. I'll crop it, I thought to myself ...
And so, to my first attempt at recreating one half of a vignetting distortion; the change in exposure is awkward enough to balance, the blurring much more so. It didn't go too badly, but is not perfect. Hopefully not too obvious, however.
Lesson learnt.
Again.
Ynyslas bay, Pentax K-S1, Pentax-M 28mm, September 2020.
While working 50 bus route on the Purbeck's, I had a 10 minutes layover at Shell Bay and i remembered to bring my camera with me here one on my photos
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The shells she sells are surely sea-shells!
So if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore,
Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells!

Shell Creek Road,
San Luis Obispo Co., California
Our group, organized by the Cal Poly Botany Dept., had the blessing of the Sinton family to go behind a locked gate to property off the roadway which I had not seen previously. Sincere gratitude for this special treatment as well as the welcome to their property along the road for the public over these many years.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
I väntan på vår och sommar så får denna snäcka bli mitt bidrag till veckans omgång av Fotosöndag på temat high-key.
Strobisten Info:
Am Boden stand mein Yongnuo YN685, auf diesem befand sich eine Klopapierrolle. Darauf die Muschel. So konnte ich erreichen, dass das überschüssige Licht effektiv abgeblockt wurde und wirklich nur die Innenseite der Muschel beleuchtet wurde. Ausgelöst wurde der Blitz mit einem Yongnuo YN-622C-TX.

On the floor stood my Yongnuo YN685, on it was a roll of toilet paper. On it was the shell. This way I could make sure that the excess light was effectively blocked and only the inside of the shell was illuminated. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo YN-622C-TX.
my mom called when I took this photo.
mom: what are you doing?
me: taking pictures.
mom: of what?
me: egg shells.
mom: what?
me: egg shells.
mom: nevermind.
