Several Decades ago, the Shell Oil Company, put out a number of card series. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.
I only have the Transport Card series left, the others have been long thrown out.
I have scanned each page. This is the final part, part 2.
Shot setup for shell.
Three strobes. One on camera DIY ring flash adapter at 1/4 as a fill. Adapter eats about 3-4 stops. So its actually about 1/16-1/32. Camera left gridded strobe as key light at 1/8. Under the shell with grid at full power for inner glow effect.

Discovered in 1835, Margate's Shell Grotto is an astonishing find; 21 metres of winding passages decorated with 4.6 million shells. The walls are covered in images of gods and goddesses, trees of life and patterns of whelks, mussels and oysters. Some think it is an ancient Pagan grotto, others that it is simply an ornate Regency folly; but with no definitive explanation or history, the Shell Grotto is Kent's greatest mystery.
I was digging through a layer of loose sand looking for pieces of opalised wood and didn't think anything of the cockle shells until I noticed the broken edge of one was glassy, translucent and brown.... not opaque white like a normal shell.
These are extremely rare and I only ever found a few pieces. On several subsequent trips I have never re-located that shell-bearing sandy layer again :(
Shell Eco-marathon Asia - the Urban Concept class. Over several days, teams make as many attempts as possible to travel the furthest on the equivalent of one litre of fuel. Cars drive a fixed number of laps around the circuit at a set speed. Organisers calculate their energy efficiency and name a winner in each class and for each energy source. (photo by Ben Cho)

One of the strangest modifications - that second story is part of it - it's not a house behind it.
This is from my dad's overly large shell collection. Basically burned daylight all day, and right at sunset i started freaking out because i didn't have a photo yet. I was stuck in the house with no model to shoot outside, so I went on our lanai (patio) and took a shot of my dad's shell collection.
I was thinking about titling my photos from now on..
I constantly amaze myself with the shots I can get without a macro.
I'm still blown away by the fact that a photo of mine made it to #78 on explore (and my photo was day 78 too! lol). Thank you to you all!!
Tomorrow is a school day again ;/ blerg but it will be bench monday! And I do have a piano bench...So I'm looking forward to what photo I'll take tomorrow.
This old Shell station lives in a tucked-away part of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It now serves as an office of some sort.
Some of the local wildlife has been doing a good job of keeping the American Signal Crayfish population under control !
