This shell may itself be a ghost - it seems to be stalking something, doesn't it? For We're Here! who investigating ghosts in shells today and for my POTD.
Many thanks for your views and fav's - particularly comments!
All are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
coquille
Je suis tombé pour nager
et j'ai laissé mon coeur en arrière
J'ai laissé mon coeur vers le bas
comme la coquille dans le sable
I fell to swim
and I left my heart back
I left my heart down
like the shell in the sand

I liked how I held this shell up to the sun and the light kind of showed through it. I added a textured background.

The smallest shells in my collection, which I brought many years ago from Bulgaria. This bigger one is exactly 20mm long :)

So my old macro lense (Tamron 90mm) died a death, due to fungus :\ Had to replace it, like for like, and I remember why I liked this lense so much in the first place. Slapped a Raynox 250 on it and got this macro of some very small shells. The focus is *ever so slightly* off, but it's good enough.
A tree entirely made up of of beautiful sea shells directly off the beach of Cayo Costa Island, S.W. Florida. (only accessible by boat) We each hung our shell and admired the beautiful wildlife at this wonderful Nature Conservation Reserve.
Originally put up in 1933, along Commonwealth Avenue near its more famous cousin, the Citgo Sign in Kenmore Square, the Spectacular Shell sign today marks the Magazine Shell Station at the corner of Magazine Street and Memorial Drive since 1944 and today uses LED's rather than traditional neon. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

I wanted to put something with the shells, but couldn't think what. Then I remembered that these 2 buttons are made from shell. One is oyster pearl and the other smokey pearl. They're both over 100 years old and date from the 1890s/1900s. Buttons to the rescue again. :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday group theme, Seashells and/or Snail Shells.
Taken with Pentacon Auto 50mm f1.8.
This is an old sea shell that I brought back from Baja California, Mexico years ago.
Lighting stuff: Side lighting from a Yongnuo manual flashes in soft boxes on either side of the shell. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

Sitting in a smooth white concrete shell, facing the sea and escaping the relentless rays of the afternoon sun, the acoustics of the waves smatter and splash against the shoreline with a detail that is usually only afforded when standing at the water’s edge. Looking at the sea some 15 or 20 meters away, this experience feels strange… Almost as if the sound of the sea has been brought inland.
"The Acoustic Shells were designed by London studio Flanagan Lawrence to facilitate community events and provide residents of the West Sussex town with a scenic resting spot on the edge of a sunken garden, between the town and a beach facing the English Channel."

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
I had mulch for the garden delivered and found it was full of these tiny little shells. Great for the calcium content in the soil, and wonderful for some macro photos.

This is one of my wife's creations that I have photographed before, although I composed it differently.
Lighting: Lit with one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch tripod mounted light stand at camera right. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera left. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
