Obviously, I've totally run out of names for sea shells.
For this shell, I wanted to show the translucent quality so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the shell to focus the light on the part I wanted to light up. For fill light, I used a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box, camera left, in front at 7 o'clock, and then used a small hand held mirror to bounce a little light onto the right side. The strobes were in manual mode and I took several test shots to get the lighting ratios that I wanted. The strobes and my camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other sea shells that I've photographed over the years are in my Shell album, if you like this sort of thing.

This is the third image of this place I have posted. Previously when selling multiple brands and then also as seemingly a solus Shell site although that's not certain from the view given in that photo which is the same view as this one. It's hard to put a timeline on these three images but certainly the solus ones come after the one where it is clearly selling more than one brand. This is a colourised image, I am almost certain it is based on a image previously posted by Daves_Archive1, you can see that one below along with the two other images I have posted. If I had to stick my neck out I'd say this image is the most recent but still probably later 1960s.
The main focus of all these images is the Green Dragon pub and not the garage of course, it's just coincidence that the pumps were positioned so that they show in such postcards. As an aside the pub is superb and serves wonderful food.
Of course the garage didn't last, it was tucked in between the pub and the church with a tiny entrance and in more modern times would have been entirely impractical.

27 Jan - photo a day 2016.
This shell was purchased during our first trip to New Zealand.
Haliotis iris, common name paua, blackfoot paua or rainbow abalone, is a species of edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalones.
This species is endemic to New Zealand Blackfoot paua is the largest abalone species found in New Zealand. It is most commonly found in shallow cool waters at depths less than 6 m. These sea snails often form large clusters on open, exposed coasts, where drift seaweed accumulates and there is good water movement. Blackfoot paua grow to about 180 mm in shell width.

This shell is just under an inch. (Used my handy dandy built in measuring device — the distance between the first and second knuckle on my index finger.) This shell definitely has ridges.

Two interesting things about this image (well, to me, anyway). Firstly, it was taken with a standard non-macro Nikkor 50mm lens attached to the Nikon Z6 through the FTZ adapter and triple-decked macro ring extenders. This brought the subject to just a couple of cm from the front of the lens. Secondly, this was the first time I tried Nikon's SnapBridge app on my iPhone to fully control the camera. This allowed me to take the shot without any need to touch the vcamera once I had carried out the initial set-up. The focus, shutter-speed and aperture were all controlled remotely as well as the final tripper release. Well done Nikon, excellent bit of technology and it can only get better!!
A busy interlude as the early morning autumnal sunshine illuminates Thomas Hill 'Vanguard' 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic '9'' (Works No.287V built in 1980), fitted with an exhaust 'scrubber' device, seen shunting the BR exchange sidings at Shell UK Oil Ltd Stanlow Refinery, as Tinsley-based 47003 'Wild Swan' , with less than a year to go before withdrawal, passes with a container train for Ellesmere Port on 12th October 1990. After closure of the refinery, the 'Vanguard' loco worked at T J Thomson's Stockton scrapyard, and (in 2025) was owned by Ed Murray at Hartlepool and is hired out as required. 47003 was scrapped two years later by CF Booth of Rotherham.

These tiny shells are about 1/2 inch in real life. :)
