Theses scallop shells hang outside a dorset seafood restaurant. I love their colours, shape , the ridges. Photo edited with vignette to enhance the shells and the rope they are hanging from .
While we're on gas pumps, I happened to remember this old shot from a bike tour many years ago. Pre digital days, the photo was most likely taken with one of the small Olympus clam shell cameras.

For strobist readers:
An SB-24 camera left, a 580ex camera right. Each is set to ~1/8 power (which means that the 580ex is throwing more light), and diffused through a piece of paper that I folded to make it stand upright. The backdrop is an article of clothing I wasn't wearing, and the minor reflections you see beneath the shell are from a stand made from two paperclips.
I keep meaning to put this shell into the turtle-tank, but I just know they'll bite pieces out of it, and it seems such a shame! If only they appreciated the lines and curves and beauty.......oh well!
