When I thought about this subject Thought of shells and then put my brain in gear to try & find 5 different types of shell for the image.
Here we have:-
Base of a 3.7" gun shell case
Abalone shell
Duck egg
Pistachio shell
Big End bearing shell from either a BMW or an Audi engine
#42 Still life with 5 objects for 52 in 2018 challenge
We have been collecting these for years with the help of MimiCapeCod. The shells are from all over - Cape Cod to Florida, the Caymans & Mexico to Bermuda.
I picked these shells up from the beach on Koh Samui in the summer - I always bring home tokens from in the form of rocks, pebbles or shells. They are scattered around the house on window-sills and table tops bringing memories of past good times.
I set the shutter speed at 2 seconds with a narrow aperture so that the image would show the colours and textures of the shells clearly.
