So my old macro lense (Tamron 90mm) died a death, due to fungus :\ Had to replace it, like for like, and I remember why I liked this lense so much in the first place. Slapped a Raynox 250 on it and got this macro of some very small shells. The focus is *ever so slightly* off, but it's good enough.
A tree entirely made up of of beautiful sea shells directly off the beach of Cayo Costa Island, S.W. Florida. (only accessible by boat) We each hung our shell and admired the beautiful wildlife at this wonderful Nature Conservation Reserve.

coquille
Je suis tombé pour nager
et j'ai laissé mon coeur en arrière
J'ai laissé mon coeur vers le bas
comme la coquille dans le sable
I fell to swim
and I left my heart back
I left my heart down
like the shell in the sand

This is an old sea shell that I brought back from Baja California, Mexico years ago.
Lighting stuff: Side lighting from a Yongnuo manual flashes in soft boxes on either side of the shell. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Other pictures that I've taken of shells can be seen in my creatively titled Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157626043932290
Originally put up in 1933, along Commonwealth Avenue near its more famous cousin, the Citgo Sign in Kenmore Square, the Spectacular Shell sign today marks the Magazine Shell Station at the corner of Magazine Street and Memorial Drive since 1944 and today uses LED's rather than traditional neon. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

floating rock and shell in the narrow neck of a bottle with other things from the beach, sunk below.
Sitting in a smooth white concrete shell, facing the sea and escaping the relentless rays of the afternoon sun, the acoustics of the waves smatter and splash against the shoreline with a detail that is usually only afforded when standing at the water’s edge. Looking at the sea some 15 or 20 meters away, this experience feels strange… Almost as if the sound of the sea has been brought inland.
"The Acoustic Shells were designed by London studio Flanagan Lawrence to facilitate community events and provide residents of the West Sussex town with a scenic resting spot on the edge of a sunken garden, between the town and a beach facing the English Channel."

Some areas of Graciosa Island are covered by billions of empty snail shells. Unfortunately I didn't figured out how they get there. Please tell me if you know the reason.
La Graciosa is the smallest inhabited island of the Canary Islands. The island is part of the Chinijo Archipelago Nature Reserve since 1986. I discovered the island during 2 days by foot & by bike.....despite the strong winds a fantastic nature experience! The biggest challenge was not the wind but finding good photo spots. The area is highly sensitive to human impact and as usual in a nature reserve, it is not allowed to leave the paths. You are strongly encouraged to obey the rules. Traces from cars, bikes or even people can last for many decades and the destroyed vegetation needs a very long time to recover.

I had mulch for the garden delivered and found it was full of these tiny little shells. Great for the calcium content in the soil, and wonderful for some macro photos.

Balance - keep or put (something) in a steady position so that it does not fall. On a photo small shell balancing on my finger :)

The shell and body are almost translucent in the evening sunlight. It was scurrying to hide from the sun, within seconds, disappeared into the crevices of the brick wall.
Macro Mondays: Small and smaller
Small shell: 1.75 in/4.5 cm across
Smaller shell: 0.375 in/1 cm across
