Part of my wife's collection of shells. Shot on black cloth. More of just finding a subject to shoot with a new camera than anything else.
A macro shot of some tiny shells from the beach at Dalgetty Bay. I was shocked at how well it came out…hence the title.
Das Shell-Haus ist ein fünf- bis zehngeschossiger Bau am Landwehrkanal im Berliner Ortsteil Tiergarten am Reichpietschufer 60–62, direkt an der Ecke zur Stauffenbergstraße unweit des Kulturforums. Das unter Denkmalschutz stehende Bürohaus wurde nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Emil Fahrenkamp von 1930 bis 1932 an der damaligen Königin-Augusta-Straße (ab 1933 Tirpitzufer, seit 1947 Reichpietschufer) für die Hamburger Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG (ab 1947 Deutsche Shell AG) errichtet. Fahrenkamp erhielt 1929 den ersten Platz im Wettbewerb zum Bau des Hauses, an dem fünf Architekten teilnahmen. Seit 2012 ist es neben dem Bendlerblock ein Teil des Berliner Dienstsitzes des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung.

This is the same shell that I photographed a couple of days ago, and posted on Flickr. For that image I laid it flat and lit it from the side so that I could reveal the shapes and textures. You can see that version of the shell down below in the first comment.
For this version I wanted to show the translucent quality of the shell, and make it glow, by using back lighting. I propped the shell up by leaning it up against a clear glass shot glass. Lighting came from a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind the shell, and slightly to camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I have photographed quite a few shells over the years, and if you like this sort of thing, they're in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
