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.
As seen at Wirral Transport Museum. This immediately took me back to my Rochdale childhood on the mid 1960's because I recall petrol pumps like this where my old Dad always bought his petrol for our Morris Traveller. I think the garage was in Water Street but I could be wrong. He worked just around the corner from there in Drake Street managing the Town's Thomas Cook travel agency. I used to love watching the dials go around on the old pumps.
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
All found and carefully collected by me from beautiful NZ beaches.
I took 42 shots (very restrained of me) this afternoon experimenting with DOF. I think I need to use a higher f-stop.
>>More of my beach finds on flickr :-D
Tiny shells in a tiny perfume bottle — 1" x 1/2" hand blown into a mold. The glass, and the fact that I added water to the bottle which combined with the remaining perfume oil, is distorting everything. A tungsten lamp is off to the left, with the bottle sitting on a green tile, and a blue bottle behind. Shot with a Nikon D750, 105 mm f2.8 Micro Nikkor Ai, 42 mm ext tubes
Third shot in the mini series of the Shell-Haus building in Berlin.
Thanks for looking :)

Sanibel Island is widely known as one of the world's top shelling beaches. It is frequently covered with a variety of shells from the Gulf of Mexico.
You never know what you will find walking the beach. This engine block was slowly being reclaimed by nature. The sea and waves had already filled all the available spaces with small pebbles shells and seaweed. They shone like jewels against the dull metal.
