Giant Blue Clams from Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean Territories, Australia. The wonderful, luminous colours of the clams make them shine underneath the water. When snorkelling of diving in Cocos they are a wonder to see. The clams pictured above are reared beachside in a large salt water nursery. Visitors to the islands can visit the clam farm and learn more about these amazing creatures. This has been my most successful print to date. It won the Wildlife Category of the Expose Your World Photography Awards 2008 (national) and the Open Colour Section of the York Society Photography Awards 2008 (state), as well as a Highly Commended in the Melville Art Awards 2008 (state) and a Highly Commended in the ANZANG Nature Photography Awards 2008, Underwater category (national) and a Highly Commended in the Jan/Feb Fujifilm Showcase Photography Competition. It has also been published in “Camera Magazine” (Jan/Feb issue) . To take it I leant over the water to drop my shadow over the glare on the surface. Of course, the clams saw me do this and thought i was a predator, so they closed. I stood at an almost 90% angle for several minutes until they opened up again. I managed to take 3 frames before they sensed my movement and closed. Canon 5D, ISO 400, f8, AV MODE, 24-105MM L Series Canon Lens / Handheld, no flash, Auto White Balance. As is from camera.

Forrest will fetch just about anything I throw for him. Calmshells are always the most fun to watch him retrieve. Nikon D80 w/70-300mm VR Featured in Live, Love, Dream – Nov 9, 2008 / Featured in Paws n Claws – May 3, 2009
location: Huntington Beach, CA we later boiled this clam at our bonfire and made David eat it… apparently it was pretty good… we also caught a few hermit crabs too…and according to David, we didn’t cook the crabs long enough, so they tasted like crap…

the first clam dig of the year / long beach, washington www.elliewinds.com
Thankyou for your feature vote in the Abstract from Nature Group Interlocking horned clam shell.. I like how it can be a path.. interlocking mechanism.. an adventurous ride of an hourglass… trying to get these to appear on the same focal layer can be difficult.
you can’t do that you your friends!!

Prince Edward Island is a dreamy place in the summer. / Our family tries to get to the beach for cookouts as often as we can. When the tide is out on the south shore, so are the clam diggers.
Personally this is one of two from my masterpiece collection and my own personal favorite well its a toss up. I think I captured the true essence of a ship heading out to sea, the wakes, textures, and ocean colors. / Here I have shown what it will look like as a Poster, hopefully RB will look into selling Poster versions of art here in the future. / . / . / . / . / Currently this image is not for sale, due to the required calibrations for printing here at RedBubble, it will take some time to reconstruct each individual image to the appropriate configurations needed.
