Slot Canyon In A Sea Shell

I was looking around the house for something to photograph given the state of the air quality outdoors. This sea shell reminded me of slot canyons. I practiced focus stacking once again and like how it came out.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs and for your kind words of support. We feel ever so lucky to still be in our home and not evacuated or worse yet dead. My heart goes out to so many fellow West Coast people. Also, I am happy to let you know my back is bette.

Glad to hear you're back is feeling better. Now, if only those fires would stop... Very cool shell, nice job with the focus stacking!

Lovely image! I must learn focus stacking.
Glad to hear your back is better!
I hope you can stay safely in your home. Watching what is happening in the West makes me grateful every day for our clean air and no fires (knock knock). Hope they can get your fires under control asap.

I imagine you're looking at indoor shooting for a while. That smoke is unbelievable - and it we're seeing it here, I can't imagine what it is like there. This is a beautiful shot. Going to have to watch some videos on this focus stacking - love the sharpness you got with it.

Beautiful shell colors... nice photo. I use Helicon Focus when I image stacking... what do you use?

[Mags]

Lovely capture with beautiful colors and lines.

[Kate]

Great result from focus stacking. That is something I will have to try in the future.

@kvphoto i used to but my subscription ended and I didn’t use it enough to be worth it. I just used PS

[KV]

@jgpittenger I didn't have as much luck with PS and stacking... I don't always like my results in Helicon... but sometimes it works our nicely for me.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

[Joan Robillard]

I've never seen them like that before - this is lovely. Glad you're feeling better.

[Diana]

Such a wonderful clear and smooth image. Good news re your back and that you can stay in your home. Keeping fingers crossed that it stays that way.

[Gosia]

Great capture. It is a great idea to practice focus stacking on the stationary object.

[Allison Maltese]

Stunning, Jane. A beautiful still life image.

[Cathy]

Perfection! Praying still for your safety and the wildfires to be managed and controlled. May the Lord send enough rain to dampen the fires without causing mudslides and flooding. My heart breaks for the people, domestic pets and wildlife and their habitat.

I remember diving for these when I took diving lessons decades ago. I had the shell for years but have no idea what's happened to it. Yours is in beautiful shape and I like the title for interpreting what we're seeing.
