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.
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)
This is a shell that I borrowed from my sister to practice my lighting on.
I first washed it, and then made it a little shiny by rubbing some olive oil on it. I placed it on a mirror, because I figure I get two shells for the price of one that way. The only caveat with using a mirror, is that it shows every speck of dust. I first setup the backlighting by placing a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind the shell, and when I got it adjusted properly, I put light on the front with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find sea shells to be beautiful objects from nature, and have photographed quite a few of them over the years. Other shells that I have photographed are in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
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.
Taken in Otago, South Island, NZ

Summer earrings made from natural shells. It's a pity but when I went on vacations to the seaside I had forgotten it at home )

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.
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.

London Eye Reflection in a Panorama view of London
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Also known as the Millennium Wheel, its official name was originally the British Airways London Eye, then the Merlin Entertainments London Eye, and since January 2011, the EDF Energy London Eye.
The entire structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). It is currently Europe's tallest Ferris wheel,[6] the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3.5 million visitors annually,[7] and has made many appearances in popular culture.
When erected in 1999 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel, until surpassed first by the 160 m (520 ft) Star of Nanchang in 2006 and then the 165 m (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in 2008. Supported by an A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel".[8] It offered the highest public viewing point in the city[citation needed] until it was superseded by the 245-metre (804 ft)[9] observation deck on the 72nd floor of The Shard, which opened to the public on 1 February 2013.[10]
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, in the London Borough of Lambeth.

Whose face is that inside the mirror
Why do those eyes always look down
The world demands a flawless image
And forgets the dream we held at the start
You’re like a shell, hiding your softness inside
Afraid that being seen might bring you pain
You’re allowed to pull back, you’re allowed to feel lost
That’s nothing more than the cost of growing
You don’t know—you’re stronger than you ever imagined
You don’t see—your uniqueness is already light
Oh, your soul is like starlight in the deep sea
Oh, your soul—I’ll treasure it forever, forever
Fingers scroll through the noise of the virtual crowd
While reality wanders alone in the quiet
Don’t measure yourself by someone else’s ruler
You were already whole just as you are
You’re like a shell, nurturing a pearl inside
Softly glowing in the dark
You can be silent, you can feel unsure
That doesn’t mean you have to pretend
You don’t know—you’re stronger than you ever imagined
You don’t see—your uniqueness is already light
Oh, your soul is like starlight in the deep sea
Oh, your soul—I’ll treasure it forever, forever
You don’t know—you deserve the world’s embrace
One day, you’ll finally see what makes you shine
Oh, your journey—every step holds meaning
Oh, your existence is the most beautiful, most beautiful view
I’ll stay forever, forever
By your side as you learn
To see yourself
Along route 14, in Wyoming, Shell Falls displays its beautifully time worn rocks and massive water volume.
The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterwork that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. It opened in 1932 and was designed by German architect Emil Fahrenkamp. At the time the building was noted for its striking wave-like façade, and for being one of the first steel-framed high-rise buildings in Berlin.
