there was no other creative way to shoot these shells as they're not mine. they're part of some displays at a filipino restaurant we were at on the weekend. i am pleased though with how it came out, especially the details of the shell's ridges. these are no more than four inches in length, but even at this very small size you can still get that sea sound when you place it near your ear. sixty years old and the sound of shells still fascinates me.
