This whitetip reef shark is resting under a coral ledge. In the background you can see the shell of a green sea turtle that is also sleeping in the same small space.
I made this a almost a year ago for a "Star" theme but never posted it. It's a composite of a starfish shell and the rings from my "Log" sculpture of sorts that I used this past week for the Macro Mondays group. With "Shell" as the theme this week for the Smile On Saturday group it gets another chance. I hope it makes you smile.
Smile on Saturday - Shells
Shell Mex House is a grade II listed building situated at number 80 Strand, London. The current building was built in 1930–31 on the site of the Hotel Cecil and stands behind the original facade of the Hotel and between the Adelphi and the Savoy Hotel. Broadly Art Deco in style, it was designed by Frances Milton Cashmore of the architectural firm of Messrs Joseph.
This is a shot of a Shell gas pump i took right outside of a gift shop in Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, TN. I took the image with my Canon 70d and edited the photo using Lightroom 5.
I love spending time at the beach and by the ocean. It's always been my favourite place to escape to. There's nothing quite so calming as listening to the sound of the ocean, smelling the fresh sea air, feeling the sand beneath my bare feet or going for a swim in the sea. So naturally when it comes to photography I'm drawn to the beach and the ocean.
This was taken at CY O'Connor Beach in North Coogee, Perth. I went specifically to photograph an old jetty and what remains of an old shipwreck. But this little seashell is my favourite image from that little trip. I love its beautiful pattern, and how the little grains of sand have stuck to the shell.
I haven't done much macro photography, but it's a type of photography I'm really interested in. I'm hoping to add a macro lens to my kit soon. Hopefully that will allow me to take better macro shots. But I'm really pleased with how this has turned out.
When I see a bunch of shells on the beach, I want to hoard them like a pirate. At some point in history, these were money.
This photo is reprocessed from an earlier version here. (justenoughfocus.smugmug.com/Portfolio/Full/i-MVVZNj3) The tools for post-processing are continually being updated, so lately I've been having a little fun going back to old photos to tease out a new look. I don't recall what tools I used back in 2015, but this time, I used the latest version of Skylum's Luminar.
Nevertheless, what got my attention in this scene is all of the shells in the foreground; they must have been deposited after a storm. You can go to a store and buy a bag of shells for ten bucks, or you could just go to the beach and pick them up yourself. Better yet, send me the money, and I'll get them for you! (just kidding)
Loved the way the light caught it's, err, "eyes."
These things always amaze me. He just climbed up this thistle, latched on, molted and he was off.
We plan on going on a beach vacation in the winter months, so until then I'll stare at these shells
on a creative level, I did love the light coming from the window though

This is the first in my new series of images from the German North Sea island Sylt. When I was there last summer, I was constantly taking photos, even when I was relaxing on the beach.
I am still in holiday mode, so I don't comment as much as I usually do. Please bear with me. Things will go back to normal next week.
Enjoy!

I love the colours of these mussel shells - if they weren't occupied I would have liked to re-home them to my place.

DJZ_6588-Edit-2: Shell Canyon is on the western side of the Bighorn Mountains. In this image, you see Hwy US14 going down. I'm on my way down the canyon heading toward the section of US14 that's between Wapiti, and the eastern entrance of Yellowstone NP.
The morning sunlight is just beginning to hit the upper part of this image.
A submission to Macro Monays on the topic "Collection". I am currently travelling, so all our collections are at home. But here is a very temporary collection of shells found on a beach on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.
