I found this seed head skeleton while out walking on Christmas Eve and took it home to photograph. I used some patterned paper as a background. Try viewing large for best effect. I'll be playing catch up with my commenting, so bear with me and I"ll get round to you all as soon as I can :-)

I won't be around very much over the next few days (unless I can sneak a bit of computer time when the grandchildren are in bed), so I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. If you don't celebrate Christmas then "Happy "Holidays" to you. Take care everyone ;-)

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.

As the rubbish weather continues, so do the indoor photography experiments :-) I'm happy with the black background, but I don't think I've nailed the lighting yet, although I think this is a good start.

Rubbish weather today, so I've been experimenting with some water droplet refraction. I made a basic error by not checking my iso before I started shooting and it wasn't until I got them on the computer that I noticed I'd left the camera on iso 1250, so these are a bit noisy. Overall though, I'm happy that I got the technique pretty much OK, so just a bit more practice needed.
