All this construction around my house is driving me insane. Its a good thing my wife just got a Jeep because my regular car would have fallen apart by now with all the holes and sand bumps in the area. Have you guys seen the extremely deep hole in the street between Starbucks and Sbarro in front of Fanar? I had trouble passing it even with the Jeep! Hopefully all the construction will end soon and they repave the streets. Near my house there are a whole bunch of Shell barrels filled with diesel fuel for the trucks. I really like the Shell logo and colors, its simple and memorable.
Just when I thought I've finished with my shell collection, I've discovered 2 more to be documented. This one here shot at around 2x and using Bolt LED ring light. I didn't want to apply an oil here but eventually I did when I touched with with my oily hands! Anyway, I think the light luster made some nice texture from the top to the bottom.
We've got tons of shells and ocean related stuff. Our entire upstairs is nautically decorated. ;) The "Above Under The Sea Gardens" we like to call it. Will have to take more pics of that later. But until then.. here's a cool shell. Hard to believe a creature went around with this as it's house!
Number 15 for 52 in 2015: Shell/s
Even though I live so close to the beach I still sometimes can't resist adding to my collection of bits and bobs from the strand line.
This is one of many such findings.

My first attempt at 'zoom blur' not sure if that is what it is called but it does seem fitting. canon 50d, f14, 1.3sec, I used the kit lens 18-55, not the best qaulity but out of 6 different lens I found this gave the best reults, started out at approx 50mm and then over the 1.3sec wound out to approx 20mm, any tips on this technique are greatly welcome
A broken shell which i made an image of with my first digital camera, about 9 years ago.
It was processed with very basic soft-ware, which i was just playing around with, to see what happens.
Still a startling image!

Me encanta escuchar el melodioso sonido de las conchas,
cuando el viento las mece y una con otra golpean suavemente.
Shell Creek runs through Shell Canyon in the Bighorn Mountains of Big Horn County, Wyoming. This photo was taken just to the west of the stock bridge near the canyon mouth east of the little town of Shell.
Shell extracted from a pine board. Base is made of walnut with pegs of ebony. Thanks to Steve Garrison for his imagination and his book on how to make one of these! I will surely do some more experimentation with alternate materials and angles.

This was a hard one to do since the shells were also white. But I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
I found the owls on sale several years ago and finally decided to use the crushed shell on them. Since the picture I dry-brushed a light gray paint around the edge of the head so that it shows up better from a distance. Several others have aqua stars and glitter tile pieces within the shell. They are kind of funky fun! :)
