Description
I have this image up in the photography Forum today. FOr Simon says - , asking anyone who wants to to share and show what they collect !
What do you collecT??
One of the many things my daughters and I like to collect is sea shells...(there is also some dry seaweed here no i dont collect that lol) .
The Pacific ocean is about 45 minutes from where I live.. For three years I lived in Northern Calif near Tahoe far from the beach and had these shells to remind me. I missed the ocean terrible when I did not live near it. I have many others too a big conch shell you can hold up to year ear and hear the ocean supposedly hehe,
...gifts from the sea I think of it as..
I took this shot along time ago when I first got my nikon and it was me testing my camera out and so today I did some postwork on it and thought iI would share it today in black and white.
If you have anything you collect go to the forum and share there!!. I figure hey-if you spend time collecting thing why not share them for others to see?
Thanks for all your time and comments!
love ya all! Big hugs

Great contrast and composition, this looks great in b&w. I collect pennies, does that count? I've got quite a few shells as well, mostly from the Gulf of Mexico but they seem to be a lot smaller (and more broken) then these beauties are.

Oh Kimmer!! This is a beautiful photo!! The shells are just lovely and it is just perfect in black and white! I love shells too and beach sand. I have a large crystal bowl on my coffeetable that has layers of sand from beaches all over and a few little shells in it too! Awesome POV!! V :-)

Lots of people collect - postage stamps, coins, whatever. Some collect rocks, and that's nice. But seashells are really special. Great photo!

Kimmers, you probably know the indians used seashells as money (wampom)..so take you shells to an indain trading post and buy a new camera ..LOL,,,nice b/w pic...and out of frame..=))))))

A stunning collection of seashells! Beautiful. How do you get that little heart in your write-up. I have been trying and can't do one hehehe.

What a lovely stilllife - I just adore shells - who can resist their beauty. LJ and I collect hearts - in pictures - ceramics - little heart boxes- you name it - we've got all kinds of heart objects. My wedding ring is even in the shape of a heart. And since we moved into our new home in the mtns- the previous owner collected semi precious stones - they were literally thrown all over the side of a hill on our land -I didn't even know they were their until the snows melted in the spring. I took them, one by one, and made a lovely rock garden on the side of our house. :o) CC

A so lovely composition Kimmers and a good idea to. Not only for the treasure you collect but also for the frame in the frame... As you I love sea shells, I've got hundreds and hundreds... of each country, and I often go on the beach, in particular after a storm, you find incredible gifts ! Stange piece of wood in particular are incredible, Natural sculptures. And your composition is really very good and lovely. I love the black and white for it. Superb work and shot Kimmers. I've never play to "Simons says"... Michel have tell me about. I must have a look ! Have a excellent saturday ! V
