Smile on Saturday - Shells

Came across this hinged mussel shell when walking the dog in Gunners Park, not far from East Beach, Shoeburyness. Picked it up and popped in on a pyracantha bush nearby !!

In most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. The external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous

(Nacre also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs (like mussels) as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent)

Many thanks for all views and fav's - and particularly comments.

All are greatly appreciated!

Happy photography to you all!

I could point the camera down most of my time on a beach.

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.

Snail shell

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.

I took this image with a macro lens. Constructive criticism is welcome.

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 image was taken on a small forest river

Shot with a Nikon D5100 with a tripod.

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

The soft pink colour of this shell was enhanced by bouncing a bit of light back in with a pink post it note just out of frame top left. The bleaching was a simple one click effect using Smart Photo Editor.

I liked the glow of of the sun behind this shell.

shells seen in a sea shell store, sea urchins

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."

I wanted to put something with the shells, but couldn't think what. Then I remembered that these 2 buttons are made from shell. One is oyster pearl and the other smokey pearl. They're both over 100 years old and date from the 1890s/1900s. Buttons to the rescue again. :)
