7th : Sea Shells by JNConradie

Centurion, South Africa

For those interested: the shells were arranged on top of a piece of white perspex, lit from underneath with a reading lamp, using a piece of yellow scrapbook paper as colour filter. The vignetting is primarily just the fall-off of the light source used. No major postprocessing involved.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
8s f/32.0 at 60.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I like it. I agree with blade! I also like the gradual growth in shell size. -Cat

Pretty neat. The tones and texture make me feel like I am floating in the waters of another world.

Thanks, CJ. Thanks, Naj. Regards ~jnconradie ( Naj, I am not really sure how to explain the pc/mac differences, but someone else might be able to give a good reason. The photograph was of course compressed a lot from its original in order to fit into the Challenge size limit and that might help to explain some loss of texture. (?) )

Lovely shot Nico - beautiful yellow, nice lighting and composition too. It's even better knowing that this was done without a lot of PP! CJ

This looks awesome on my mac at home but totally different on the PCs at work. On the mac, the yellow tones are warm and smooth, but on the pc (truecolor setting) the yellow is in a number of bands and the shells have lost some of their texture. Beautiful image, though. - Naj
