Macro Mondays: shell

Shells

The part of the beach here on Vancouver Island is covered in white shells. Morning light gives them a blue-ish colour.

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.

Each shell a jewel, each grain a star,

Reflects the fading light afar,

The castle, proud, beneath the sky,

Wears sunset like a royal dye.

After many attempts I've finally got a picture or St Mary's Shell that I'm happy with. This would look great printed on Aluminium.

As I walk along the deserted beach

I feel the damp sand surronding my feet

I feel the cool relaxing breeze creep up upon me with ease

As I look out at the restless waves my thoughts unwind like restless days

The beach is a very quiet and calming place

An old Shell Gas Pump found on a trip to Wisconsin last year...the sky was just plain whitish, so I added a sky from another image I took.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
