The weather has been so miserable, overcast, cold, windy, wet, and sometimes snowing, lately. I get this burning desire to take photos and feel so frustrated, I can't go out to take photos. I bring my camera and gear along, whenever I go out, but am disappointed by the conditions. At home, I search the dark crevices of my brain for something to create photographic magic. For two days, I had considered how I would photograph several shells I had picked up with my wife on the east coast of Tasmania.

I had been wondering about how to sufficiently illuminate a shell to show the structure and colour of it.

I wanted to use a 6X6 cm format camera, merely for symmetry -and give the 'blad boy some exercise.

I wanted a pure white frame surrounding the shell.

Well, here is the end result.
