This fishing cottage was transformed into a gorgeous grotto in the 1840s by a plasterer called Alex Bachelor, who also covered the interior walls in shells.
I added a few little mementos of the beach to my kitchen windowsill.

HAPPY FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER EVERYBODY!
This cool old Shell Oil Bennett gas pump poses for my camera. It belongs to one of the many very cool collections of neat old stuff at the Florida Flywheelers club.
. . . or perhaps a wooden barnacle.
The tide comes in and goes out - only the shell fragments remain - caught by a jetty post.

A macro close-up of an attractive sea shell. It has been identified as a ventral harp snail (Harpa ventricosa), thanks to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/29287337@N02].
This monochrome photograph showcases a collection of seashells arranged artistically against a dark background. The black and white tones emphasize the textures and patterns of the shells, highlighting their spiraling forms and the intricate lines that trace the growth of each shell.
The shells vary in size and shape, with some featuring elongated spires and others displaying more rounded, compact forms. Their placement in the composition seems intentional, creating a balance between the various shapes and directing the eye across the image. The play of light and shadow is masterfully captured, with the light source coming from the side, casting deep shadows and enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the shells.
The choice of black and white photography strips away the distraction of color, allowing the viewer to focus on the forms, lines, and textures that make each shell unique. The arrangement evokes a sense of natural symmetry and beauty, often found in objects sculpted by the sea. The overall effect is one of elegance and quiet beauty, inviting reflection on the wonders of the natural world.
I am really not sure about this one, maybe a bit extreme the clouds were a bit confused but colourful .
This was set up and shot on my dining room table. I need to get out more.
You can read about how it was done on my photo blog, Points of Light.
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
― Isaac Newton

Oyster farming is a major business in Whitstable, and there are loads of restaurants and vendors selling them. You can even see the farmers collecting up the oysters each day and bringing them in.
The restaurant belonging to the Whitstable Oyster Company collects up the shells to use as fertiliser (known as cultch), and they stack them up at the back of the restaurant on the beach. The pile is huge and covered in flies, and I couldn't help thinking it was a little bit too close to the outdoor tables of the restaurant!

Just a shell I found at the north sea in Denmark. I don't know what exactly it is but it has to be very common as the beach was full of these. If anybody knows the exact name I'll be happy for a hint.
Strobist: Two Yongnuo 560III speedlites, one on each side of the camera. The one on the left through a Firefly II softbox, the other one bare. I placed a piece of styrofoam on each side of the shell. The speedlites were both triggered by a Yongnuo RF603II remote trigger. Focus stack of 28 pictures.
