The Viewfinder challenge for April was "Patterns in Nature". I bought a sea shell to illustrate the spiral lines they have. I needed some way to support it so I could light it from behind. A C-clamp worked well and the contrast between the fragile shell and the steel clamp suggested I leave it in the frame. Comments welcome.
Was in Biloxi MS for a few days this week. I was anxious to see how the beaches had recovered from the BP oil spill since they have been advertising the Gulf Coast recovery on TV. All I can say is they are beautiful. Miles and miles of white sand with no tar balls or seaweed or other debris. And almost no people. Here is a shot I took to show the condition.
