Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
Situated on the northeastern side of the Taillefer Isthmus, it covers a 110 km long stretch of coast along the L'Haridon Bight. It is one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from shells.
The beach was named "Shell Beach" because of the great abundance of the shells of the cockle species Fragum erugatum. The seawater in the L'Haridon Bight has a high salinity due to both the geomorphology and local climate of the area. This high salinity has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment.
The shells typically reach a depth of 7 to 10 metres. Over time, the shells have formed a limestone that is known as Coquina.
Before Shark Bay became a World Heritage Site, the limestone was mined and used for the construction of a number of buildings in the local town of Denham, Western Australia.

A series of shells and similar found over time I made into a set of photos. Worked with the idea for a while, but first now I am starting to be happy with the result.
Fossilised oyster shell, the beach was called Cockleshell Beach and that's what it was a whole beach of cockleshells with the odd oyster and mussel.
1. Sea shell from class pictures.
2. Camera settings are normal and adjusted corresponding with the light.
3. Key elements are shape, form, space, and texture.
4. Key principles are pattern, proportion, and unity.
5. Computer adjustments are that I brightened it some and sharpened it a lot. Then I raised the contrast some and highlighted it with a little purple.
6. Infinite depth of field.
7. The light was coming from the east with a lamp and a see through purple box in front of it.
