I enjoy taking these shots, and have done so ever since taking this one flic.kr/p/8xybfW with a Pentax 645, back in 2009 or so. The effect of the barrel distortion and vignetting really captured me.
However, when I saw this shell on Traeth Ynyslas, I did not have my 645 with me - it is languishing, awaiting repair to the winding mechanism; rather, I had an ME Super and a K-S1 with a choice of 50mm DA-L or 28mm Pentax-M lenses. It was bright, and windy, and the light was complicated, so I opted for the old Pentax-M Lens on the K-S1, as it would allow me to have a few goes, as it were. I am convinced that 'digital' makes me lazy, though it does force me to learn from my mistakes and disappointments quickly. Anyway, I didn't frame it properly. I'll crop it, I thought to myself ...
And so, to my first attempt at recreating one half of a vignetting distortion; the change in exposure is awkward enough to balance, the blurring much more so. It didn't go too badly, but is not perfect. Hopefully not too obvious, however.
Lesson learnt.
Again.

Our group, organized by the Cal Poly Botany Dept., had the blessing of the Sinton family to go behind a locked gate to property off the roadway which I had not seen previously. Sincere gratitude for this special treatment as well as the welcome to their property along the road for the public over these many years.
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.
While working 50 bus route on the Purbeck's, I had a 10 minutes layover at Shell Bay and i remembered to bring my camera with me here one on my photos
While walking on the beach, I saw this beautiful shell glistening, and showing some beautiful colors.
The part of the beach here on Vancouver Island is covered in white shells. Morning light gives them a blue-ish colour.

A pair of vintage Shell cufflinks, the company I first worked for, as an apprentice when I left school.
In 5 short years I was privileged to have travelled to over 50 countries. HMM
I väntan på vår och sommar så får denna snäcka bli mitt bidrag till veckans omgång av Fotosöndag på temat high-key.
Shell Beach is just North of PIsmo Beach. We had just eaten at a restaurant near here and the waitress recommended this location to shoot a sunset. I'm glad I asked her before searching for a location. I loved the rock features in the water and this bluff had a perfect line for the glowing light off of the water.
I was sharing this location with another photographer and his wife asked us if we had looked below us. We both were in the moment and were trying to get the perfect light and weren't paying attention to much else. She had been below us on the beach and made a comment about how precarious the bluff looked that we were shooting from. I'm glad that it held us up because it would have been about a 75 foot drop to the beach below. It just reminds me of the crazy things we do to get the perfect shot.
my mom called when I took this photo.
mom: what are you doing?
me: taking pictures.
mom: of what?
me: egg shells.
mom: what?
me: egg shells.
mom: nevermind.
It is perhaps unsurprising that Brian would have a keen interest in shells - he has been collecting them for years from his many overseas expeditions in Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea to name just a few. He loves admiring the grace and elegance in the amazing diversity of their colours and forms. This image shows him posing with four of his smallest shells - two cowries, an olive shell and a common cockle.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Collection'. Brian is a tiny juvenile snail, with a shell barely 7mm long, so the image spans about 7.2cm.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Porcelain replica of a scallop shell worn by religious pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in province of Galicia in northwestern Spain. This replica was gifted to me during one of my trips to Spain.
A black walnut shell inside of it’s other shell.
Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to North America. It grows mostly in riparian zones, from southern Ontario, west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida and southwest to central Texas
Black walnut is an important tree commercially, as the wood is a deep brown color and easily worked. Walnut seeds (nuts) are cultivated for their distinctive and desirable taste. Walnut trees are grown both for lumber and food, and many cultivars have been developed for improved quality wood or nuts.
Wikipedia
A "shell beach" is a sea beach that routinely has an unusually large accumulation of seashells washed up on it. Seashells are most often the dead empty shells of marine mollusks, but may also include tests or shells of other kinds of marine animals.

A geeky computer joke. This shell is nature's way of exploring cellular automata :).
A cellular automaton is a mathematical technique that evolves a collection of data using very simple rules. This shell exhibits that sort of evolution along its outer surface.
In the computer world, a shell is a program that accepts a persons inputs (usually by typing commands) and then spits out the results.
See the whisper of the wind has found your hair again
And though my heart said give me refuge in your dignity my dear
All I could do was put a seashell to your ear

i like how my pictures have nothing in common anymore.
i don't know if that is good or bad?
The only difficulty with tight rules on MM is that during COVID 19 not everyone will be able to fulfil the strict rules of the time line. If I get the time I’ll add into the MM pool just to highlight the problem for some of us when we’ll be a bit busier than normal.
The larger shell is 3inches in size, so then significantly smaller then, they are 3-5mm in size.
HMM all stay safe
