Lovely, shell looks like a hermit crab, very pretty, or is it just a snail?

[Blackbird8 in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

It's a wilk shell I think 🤔 ... I just popped it on the grass area to focus on ... ❤

Thats a good shot BB very arty and I would like to paint the shell x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Izb1]

Paint 🎨 🖌 away .... thankyou so much ❤🧡

[Jaybird19]

Lovely light but how did you get the light on base of shell? I am intrigued. What did you use . ?? Foreground flash.

[Blackbird8 in reply to Jaybird19]

I didn't do anything to enhance the colouring or light on the shell ... its my new phone camera I'm using at the moment to see what it can capture... I just turned the phone upside down to take the pic ..The shell I put it place beforehand so no camera tricks ❤

[Jaybird19 in reply to Blackbird8]

My partner once won a prize for taking a photo with fill in flash and I thought you had done the same but your phone camera is so good - - and so much easier than carrying all the camera bag with all the bits and pieces that he had.And I always like your foregrounds.

[Blackbird8 in reply to Jaybird19]

Thanks so much .. I don't ever carry loads of stands I attach the camera to my dog walking belt around my waist with carabiner clips .. I need hands free as much as possible for walking the dogs so I can lead clip them if necessary ... the camera then tucks into a side bag I hip carry 🙈❤

Now that is an unusual picture Blackbird8 , but beautiful as usual and peaceful looking. The whelk shells are sometimes used by hermit crabs as homes. Hope the new year brings more things for you to photograph and share with us x

[Blackbird8 in reply to katieoxo60]

Thank you Katie that's lovley and kind ...Happy New year when it comes ❤

[Blackbird8 in reply to RoadRunner44]

Oh magic Roadrunner little bit of magic ... 😂 ... new phone turned upside down before clicking its simple really ❤

[RoadRunner44 in reply to Blackbird8]

Well it worked didnt it? I love it.X

[Blackbird8 in reply to RoadRunner44]

I'm not sure if I like it or not...I guess it's because I placed the shell prior 🤔

[RoadRunner44 in reply to Blackbird8]

You keep on experimenting BB, I'm fascinated.
