[QUOTE="SinHof, post: 457119, member: 972"] Hi Wally, Yes mate the toys have been gathering dust for too long, it's been fun dragging some of it out and giving it a bit of use. I have a borrowed stone from my neighbour, red garnet I think, it has quite a few marks on it but it's OK to try different methods. Both torches are on charge at the moment, after dinner I will see what happens with the floating idea from the point of view of focus/depth of field,lighting and exposure, thus far the DOF side of the equation looks OK, controlling the lighting and reflections is another deal. A mirror as a background in the floating set-up could be interesting as you suggested, will have a play and see where it leads, there seems to be an almost endless range of possible combinations of lighting and stone orientation, also it's good to be able to exchange different ideas with the folk here. Still very new to this type of graphing, it's certainly interesting, just need to throw a lot more time at it and see what happens, still a bit more gear sitting in the cupboard that may see some use along the way, which will be good, it's a shame having all this stuff and not using it more frequently. Cheers, SinHof. [/QUOTE]
