Here are the settings from the two macro shots above. Shell 1: 1/2 second at f3.5, ISO 400. Candle was to the right of the shell just slightly in front of the shell. Shell 2: 4 seconds at f8.0, ISO 400. Lighting was as shown above in the setup shot. The camera was on a tripod and I focused manually with the lights on. Then I would turn the lights off and click the shutter. Also, I was using the mirror-lockup function and had the camera on the timer setting to ensure that I didn't contribute to camera shake with my hand. I hope this helps! Sure thing, Vampie.

I'm just learning and have a hard time figuring out what settings are needed in what environment. Great results with only a candle. :-)
