I added a few little mementos of the beach to my kitchen windowsill.
Processed with Flypaper Textures.
taken on sand from mexico, with shells from beaches in many places. i wanted this photo to be simple...calm, and sleepy.

Having just developed two further rolls of Foma Retropan 320, I am still finding myself perplexed by it. It has given some fascinating grainy effects, and wonderful atmosphere, and such frustrating lack of detail. And then, every now and again, it seems to be ... almost perfect for the moment and render a shot beautifully.
It was in the camera for this small cluster of shells on a starkly lit day on Ynyslas, Ceredigion. For full disclosure, I placed the shells on this relatively unmarked sand, having seen the three of them a yard or so away, higgledy-piggledy. It is rare that I pose shots, like this, so I am happily surprised at the result. It wasn't the lens for the job, and I suspected it wasn't the film either. But here we are, and I am surprisingly happy with the result.
And so to the film, with its wildly haloed highlights, and all that. Perhaps it is a combination of things: I haven't practised film photography for nearly five years, and I was lucky rather than skilled, even when 'in practice'. That, added to a tricky and unfamiliar film, and a cavalier attitude to metering and so on.
Whatever the case, this is one of those photographs that makes me wonder if I do like this film, after all; makes me wonder if what it would really suit (speaking only for myself, of course) are studies and still life.
And so, after a long ramble.
Here's to learning.
Ynyslas, September 2020. Pentax ME Super, Pentax-M 28mm f11, Foma Retropan 320 Soft developed in Retropan Special. Cropping and fiddling with contrast in Photoshop 2020.
This monochrome photograph showcases a collection of seashells arranged artistically against a dark background. The black and white tones emphasize the textures and patterns of the shells, highlighting their spiraling forms and the intricate lines that trace the growth of each shell.
The shells vary in size and shape, with some featuring elongated spires and others displaying more rounded, compact forms. Their placement in the composition seems intentional, creating a balance between the various shapes and directing the eye across the image. The play of light and shadow is masterfully captured, with the light source coming from the side, casting deep shadows and enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the shells.
The choice of black and white photography strips away the distraction of color, allowing the viewer to focus on the forms, lines, and textures that make each shell unique. The arrangement evokes a sense of natural symmetry and beauty, often found in objects sculpted by the sea. The overall effect is one of elegance and quiet beauty, inviting reflection on the wonders of the natural world.

Fort Walton Beach is not known for lots of sea shells but I found these few hanging around watching the sun set.

Just a shell I found at the north sea in Denmark. I don't know what exactly it is but it has to be very common as the beach was full of these. If anybody knows the exact name I'll be happy for a hint.
Strobist: Two Yongnuo 560III speedlites, one on each side of the camera. The one on the left through a Firefly II softbox, the other one bare. I placed a piece of styrofoam on each side of the shell. The speedlites were both triggered by a Yongnuo RF603II remote trigger. Focus stack of 28 pictures.
After a beautiful sunset the sky was colored in faded red and blue . In combination with the calm water, it was a nice background to the sea shells exposed due to low tide.
DJZ_6588-Edit-2: Shell Canyon is on the western side of the Bighorn Mountains. In this image, you see Hwy US14 going down. I'm on my way down the canyon heading toward the section of US14 that's between Wapiti, and the eastern entrance of Yellowstone NP.
The morning sunlight is just beginning to hit the upper part of this image.
