Zerene Stacker 120 subs. Two speed lights - snoot to the right and reflector bowl with grid about 30 degrees off-axis to left. The shell is 2.25 inches in greatest dimension.

We found this beautiful shell several years ago in Myakka State Park, which consists mostly of a freshwater marsh. My semi-educated guess is that this is an Apple Snail shell. The Florida apple snail is 2-3 inches in size, consistent with this specimen of 2.25 inches. There are four exotic species that are highly invasive, and are now widespread throughout freshwater ecosystems in Florida. They were introduced in the 1980s through the aquarium trade.

The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.

Und es geht weiter. Heute wieder mit einem Ergebnis vom Workshop mit Ronny Behnert in Berlin. Es ist schon lange her, dass ich die letzte echt schwarze und etwas aufwendigere Bearbeitung gepostet habe. Aber dieses Motiv schreit förmlich danach. An Ronny geht dabei insbesondere großer Dank an die coole Idee für diese Perspektive, auf die ich selber so wohl nie gekommen wäre.

Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch!

the macromonday theme for 5/22 is chip(s). this is one possibility.

this shell is just a little over a 1/2 an inch. took probably 40 pictures of shell pieces. the little canon 870 p&s does great close-up shots :)

An early morning trip to the tide pools was a photographer's delight. The low tide exposed various sea life that was usually hidden by the ocean's waters. I'm guessing these shelled sea creatures are filter feeders. However I've not been able to discover the identity of these ocean creatures. Any help would be appreciated.

Inspired by the Macro Mondays group theme "Natural Shells" (23-Mar-2020)

This is a pretty tiny shell, less than an inch long and a half inch wide. I used 3 stacked extension tubes 36mm, 20mm and 12 mm.

Does the little bit on the end of this shell look like a little shell eye to you too?

I like to think that there is a whole little world inside with little shell creatures looking at live feeds from the "eye" on little TV screens, analysing response tactics to the environment on their little shell computers, initiating their outer shell of silence until any potential danger has passed, and then cheering and jumping about and giving each other little shell creature high-fives. That little hole in the spirals under the eye is their emergency escape hatch I reckon. In an emergency, the ConchChime goes off and they throw a little shell creature ladder out the hole and make their escape while whatever they are escaping from is busy at the main entrance. There may have been a little hero shell creature stay behind to distract whoever they were escaping from, maybe named the Coral Crusader. I hope he/she made it out safely! Must be a tough life being a little shell creature, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

PS - I like shells, but then again, who doesn't!
