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!
A tiny snail shell on a patch of moss. The shell is about 13mm across. HMM and thank you to anyone that stops here to view, fave and write a comment.
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.
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 walking on the beach, I saw this beautiful shell glistening, and showing some beautiful colors.
Okay really is the last on in my Twisted theme. The glory of natures designs of these sea shells in East Sussex, UK Studio shot in 2019.
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.
The part of the beach here on Vancouver Island is covered in white shells. Morning light gives them a blue-ish colour.
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.
A pair of vintage Shell cufflinks, the company I first worked for, as an apprentice when I left school.
In 5 short years I was privileged to have travelled to over 50 countries. HMM

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.
Saw this display in a shop window in Windsor and thought how pretty it looked. The shop sold wonderful lights. Must visit again:-)
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
Shell Beach is just North of PIsmo Beach. We had just eaten at a restaurant near here and the waitress recommended this location to shoot a sunset. I'm glad I asked her before searching for a location. I loved the rock features in the water and this bluff had a perfect line for the glowing light off of the water.
I was sharing this location with another photographer and his wife asked us if we had looked below us. We both were in the moment and were trying to get the perfect light and weren't paying attention to much else. She had been below us on the beach and made a comment about how precarious the bluff looked that we were shooting from. I'm glad that it held us up because it would have been about a 75 foot drop to the beach below. It just reminds me of the crazy things we do to get the perfect shot.
I väntan på vår och sommar så får denna snäcka bli mitt bidrag till veckans omgång av Fotosöndag på temat high-key.
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 :)
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.
A black walnut shell inside of it’s other shell.
Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to North America. It grows mostly in riparian zones, from southern Ontario, west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida and southwest to central Texas
Black walnut is an important tree commercially, as the wood is a deep brown color and easily worked. Walnut seeds (nuts) are cultivated for their distinctive and desirable taste. Walnut trees are grown both for lumber and food, and many cultivars have been developed for improved quality wood or nuts.
