I decided to try to take a picture without my camera. To produce this photo, I placed this divided chambered nautilus shell on my Kodak All In One ESP 5250 Printer/Scanner. Over the shell I placed a box with a black interior. One thing I forgot to do was thoroughly clean the surface of the glass (you can see small specks of dust if you look closely). I also rendered a black and white image which I find interesting.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Tue, 01/05/10 09:30 Any interesting manner in which to present the chambered Nautilus with the contrast between the lightness of the chambered Nautilus and the darkened background helps to enhance the detailing to be found on the interior curve of the shell. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Tue, 01/05/10 10:16 I like the detail inside the shell and the dark background to highlight it...a dramatic image. The method that you used to get this image is quite interesting...I would never of thought of doing it this way. Well done... Comments by Christopher Azzopardi on Tue, 01/05/10 14:08 I like them both but if I had to choose just one I would choose the colour version. Comments by John Wise on Tue, 01/05/10 22:38 Very nice! Thanks for the black box idea! Comments by Maria Salvador on Wed, 01/06/10 05:57 I like them both too, but this one is my preferred. Fine tones and details!
