Vita

hi everybody,
a lot of you are accupied to improve the quality of the pictures. It inspired me. So i had to overcome the fear for SLR camera's and decided to go for it.
Now I don't have no idea about photography, so I read a lot of topics from you, and I am impressed and  . because for me all I read is rockitsience to me.
But I want to show my first result. (I bought a canon 450D with kitlens 18-55 mm.)

my avatar was the choosen one for this experimemt

Frank,

You did fine with the SLR 
Love the detail, love the color, love the rock !!
Just watch the background on your next attempt.

Cheers - Bill
 

thanks Bill,
About the background. From the experiment I learned that I have to make a new set-up. Something like Vita perhaps. I am now looking for tripod, glass, light and more. I have lack of space, knowlidge, lenses and experience.
But for now I am glad that I was able to connect the camera on the screen and from there do the sharpening. The ligt now was just a LED lamp 12 volts. 1 watt. and flash. To tame the camera has priority at this moment. But background is a major problem for me now.

Bill thanks for your comment.

He Manders,

I knew, somewhere in Geijsteren lives a photographer with guts.
Very nice picture of a wonderful agate.

And ................., use on a distance of at least 15 cm a black T-shirt as background.

My compliments.

Auke

thanks a lot Auke!

A very nice little one from the fields near Berschweiler bei Kirn, found last summer.
Cut, grind and polished by Wim Buyk.

Size:  29 x 38 x 41 mm.

Harry, that's a very nice agate my friend

Hi Harry
Very nice piece with an interesting failure in color banding.

Vita

Hi friends,

Again two very nice agates from the "Seline Elly" fields near Nohen.

Grtz, Auke

Frank & Vita, thanks 

grtz Harry

Equally overlooked this very very beautiful little agate.

Great find from Berschweiler.

Cheers, Auke

My friend Josef Hanus
be a little more practice with the computer and now I can not advise him on the phone
so he sent me pictures of my desire is for him to put here Strahlen.
Note that he can not say much with a computer, but his photographs are excellent  .
Agate photographed with flash and create your own individual process. Everything is shot on a crushed - one hand holding the camera and the second Agate - amazing!
