It is amazing how creative we can get in the Winter... Cool shots, Kenny. How about shining a light inside to get a back-lighted shot... The shell will probably act like a prism... Just a thought...

Thanks Tri. Tried that but not extensively; first efforts had blowouts.

Very cool Kenny, love the 1st shot. Are you using your bug lighting setup on these?

You and Jim are going to make me get my shells out & play too. But I'm going to be the oddball again & go outside the next couple of mornings to try some ice crystals.
