My Sea Shell Collection Photo Gallery by Simon Chandler at pbase.com

My Sea Shell Collection

I collected some sea shells in the Philippines a few decades ago. I would like to share these beautiful creatures with everyone by photos. All photos were taken with a Sony F707 camera which I find to be one of the best digital cameras ever made. Enjoy.

Hello Simon......this is a wonderful gallery, especially for those of us who have never seen these shells. And they are beautifully presented. I agree about the 707....I have the 717 and I think those of us who frequent the DPReview Sony forum are in full agreement that these two cameras are indeed classics. Happy shooting! V Cheers, Judy
