Oyster farming is a major business in Whitstable, and there are loads of restaurants and vendors selling them. You can even see the farmers collecting up the oysters each day and bringing them in.
The restaurant belonging to the Whitstable Oyster Company collects up the shells to use as fertiliser (known as cultch), and they stack them up at the back of the restaurant on the beach. The pile is huge and covered in flies, and I couldn't help thinking it was a little bit too close to the outdoor tables of the restaurant!
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
― Isaac Newton
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.

Maple Leaf Pasta Shells
This composition of pasta shells kept reminding of a maple leaf and once that thought takes hold, it's hard to shake.
Storm Dennis kept me indoors so macro work on the kitchen table passed the time.

Sea Shell, is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have decomposed.I found these on Llandudno Pier.

Poor light, quality suffers, sorry.
Freshly caught conch shells. Locals love to eat these, so we brought some back with us to make a delicious conch salad.
I was starting to forget how to actually take pictures that don't directly relate to my dreary life so thought I'd be a swot today to make up for my reckless weekend.
