We have loads of Razor Shells on Rhyl Beach, and the winter storms wash the empty shells up in their millions. They're usually bleached white and rubbed smooth, but this fresh one still had it's beautiful pale olive coating - despite which, I decided to do the images in Black & White!
The Razor shell is very confusingly named, and to be honest, you're best rearching by latin name, as every country seems to have it's own interpretation of what a Razor Shell is!
Anglers call them "Razorfish" just to confuse everybody, when they are of course Bivalves/Molluscs.
Other common names in use include Pod Razor, Razor and Razor Clam

This is my second attempt at a photo stack. This is 44 shots. There is some ghosting effect as i used Affinity Photo to make it. I know there is better programs out there. but i think it looks pretty good. Though i wish i had spent more time on the lighting, to get a better reflection.
