Sea Urchin Shell

Sea Urchin Shell
I've had a couple of these since I lived in Malta in the early 70s, but I've never even thought of taking a photo of one until now. I think it looks quite cool on the black background. The shell is quite translucent, so I now need to figure how to light it from the inside without damaging it, so I can try another photo.

Please view large, on black. Thank you.

Beautifully done Keith, black is the perfect background for the colours to pop and I can "feel" those little nodules.

Superb!

Thank you Maggie. The little nodules are where the spines would have been attached to the shell.

Pin sharp all over. It's truly beautiful. I'd love to see it lit from inside. I have a tiny white one I picked up in Tiree.

It looks good on black have you tried lighting it internally ? more experiments !!!!! I used to have one from Oban I don't know if I still have it

Keith Burton club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thanks Peter. I've been thinking how to light it from the inside - the holes top and bottom are very small, but I may be able to get a small LED bulb inside. I'm working on it :-)

The trouble is, Christmas and impending family visits are interfering with my photographic life :-)))
