This is really best viewed large to see the color and detail - a very special shell.

These are some of my mom's favorite colors...

Shot on a piece of plate glass, with black seamless taped to the bottom. Shaped hole cut to allow light to pass through. Glass was set on a 20" long piece of 12" diameter concrete form tube (Home Depot). I lined the tube with silver lame fabric from Jo-Anns, set it on top of a silver reflector fabric and suspended a 580 EX (@ 1/8th power ) 10" up and aimed down.

A 2nd 580 EX at 1/128th power on a light stand with Honl 20 deg grid is positioned camera right to bring back some of the texture of the shell.

The shells are over 100 years old and love them for their colours and textures.

Miller's (2,450 square feet)

This location opened in fall 2000, replacing an older 1960s-built Shell/Miller Mart #66 that sat on the same site (known as "Bayberry Shell").

A small collection for Michelle… currently in a plastic bag on my desk somewhere.
