Sea Shell

Two old and damaged sea shells, collected years ago, inspired me on a rainy day to play around with a flashlight and red and yellow plastic film to create various light and shadow effects.
Pictures taken with Olympus E-5 on Gorilla flexible tripod, Zuiko Digital 50mm 1:2 Macro, some shots also with retro adapter.

Makrophotography on a rainy day

Today autumn really arrived on the west coast of Kerry and gave me the excuse to stay indoors, picking a few deceased insects from the spiderwebs in our stable and try out my new retro adapter  for the 50mm 1:2 Macro Zuiko Digital with the Olympus  E-5. The Camera was mounted on a Gorilla flexible tripod and some of the pictures were shot with a FL-36R Flash. Additionally I used a small flash lite and a plexiglass to illuminate the objects from underneath.
