Another vacancy and that for many years. Lies on my softwood chest of drawers and collects dust. Got a crack as a result of carelessness. But when I look closer at the snail shell, it still moves me just as it did the day I found it.
Originally intended as a high key still life…I got carried away with the textures, somewhat. :-)
Happy Sunday, everyone!

During a walk, I picked up a snail shell nearly five centimeters long. Although it was weathered by sun and rain, it immediately caught my eye. At home, I cleaned it and brought it back to life with a light coat of marble wax.

On a nature-photography course I attended, the tutor advised us to study snail-shells as excellent examples of the "Golden Proportion".

On a recent trip to Brighton Beach with a friend, we decided to fossick through the tide line of seaweed for treasures washed up from the ocean. There were mussel shells, sea urchins, different types of seaweed and so many interesting shells amidst the sand. I was very taken by this tiny snail shell which is partially green and partially iridescent. I liked it so much, I brought it home to add to my small collection of small shells.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, which incidentally will be the final weekly “Snap Happy” theme before reverting to monthly on the 5th of December, is “anything at all… as long as it is small” which was chosen by me.
I thought this tiny snail shell was a good choice for the theme. I hope that you think so too!
The Melbourne suburb of Brighton, like its name sake in England, sits by the sea. It has a long, curved bay which is also home to its most popular destination, Brighton Beach. It has beautiful white sand and sparkling water. Brighton Beach also boasts a line of 82 bathing boxes that were built between the turn of the Twentieth Century and the 1930s by the well-heeled citizens of Brighton. They provide a striking, colourful backdrop to the shoreline, creating a well-photographed spot.

Found a little Snailshell and some old leaf in the garden. I had to illuminate it from below with a flash, to work out the speckled structure of the snail shell and the leaf.
Ich habe ein kleines Schneckenhaus und etwas Laub im Garten gefunden. Ich musste es mit einem Blitz von unten beleuchten, um die gefleckten und gesprenkelten Strukturen herauszuarbeiten.
It's filled with many things
It holds the sounds of crashing waves,
And songs that mermaids sing.
found this one walking on the beach the other day.
Usually they're about the size of a golfball, but this one was much larger.....about the size of a softball!
I don't often do a still life in black and white but here it seemed to work better than the colour version - so why not?
We should learn from
the snail: it has devised
a home that is both
exquisite and functional.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Intentional Blur" (April 24th 2017)
I found this challenge very difficult. On the rare occasions I use iCM 'in camera motion' it is on landscapes, and not on tiny macro subjects of only a few centimeters!
The choices - there were so many. Which lens? What subject? Move the camera or the subject? What background - colour etc.? what lighting? what camera settings?
I threw away so many shots - thank goodness for digital!!
Finally I chose a few subjects - set the camera on a tripod -and decided to go with the simplest option of a horizontal movement of the camera.
Even going for the 'simple' I found it difficult to shoot anything BUT the blur. To get any idea of what the subject was became a challenge in itself.
My final choice was this small 2cm snail shell set on glass and lit only a little from the sides. I used a 4 second shutter speed, and the total movement can't have been more than an inch or two!
Not so good, but the best I could manage. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone managed to tackle the challenge - much, much better than I did, I'm sure ;o)
Happy 'snail pace' Macro Monday to everyone! ;o)
