Chad G. 0 Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 one out of a myriad of pictures, the light, angle, everything had to be just right. Half the time it looked great until I reviewed it on my flat screen. I absolutely had to get a small tripod and a remote to eliminate all vibration and movement and still had a time. I wish they all came out this well. Thanks, Chad G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You even got the blue in there, Good job !!! Natural sunlight I've found to be the best for av., but at this time of year it's at a premium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chad G. 0 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 I finally got the blue to show a little better. It's just dripping off this marble but the sheen reflects off the surface and you can't see the blue av. Ahh at least you can see some now. A dimmer daylight bulb and try again later. I don't have a cell or a macro lens so just a little luck every now and then, that and a couple hundred try's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So is blue harder to capture? I will definitely take that marble out in the sunlight tomorrow, and see if I can get some better AV pics. I'm excited to try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chad G. 0 Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 Yes Ron I seen some of his work and was glad to be introduced to him by someone else who liked his work also, he works a lot but still finds time to make a few. The only polymers I own and decidedly like. Much different from any other polymer work I see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
