cheese Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Wow, loving the pics, especially the MFCs from the building and the paper Bill posted. Great stuff! Akro is the go-to folder for oxbloods, so I'll start there. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Before anyone asks, no I wasn't moving, the camera was on a tripod with a remote, the ox in this mib looks blurry, like it's in motion for some reason. I thought it was me or the camera until I got my loupe out, this being the reason the oxblood looks blurry in both pix.

You even have the opaque oxblood orange phase in the first piece. I know of two marbles made of the solid orange phase both attributed to MFC. Here is the one that I have alway called an Orange Brick. I am glad that film is no longer used, I shot about 300 images to get these. I used to shoot a lot of Kodachrome using a macro lense back in the 70's. Digital is a whole new world for me. I will do better in the months ahead but these are my best for now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted August 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I cannot see having an oxblood post with showing these to you all. Here are four of Brian Grahams that I just love. The one with the blue-ish clear tint is my favorite of all. If he figures out this orange oxblood thing, I will be there for sure to add a few to my collection. Once again-I took a lot of shots to get these. Sunlight helps for sure. I will get better. Photograpy is a lot cheaper that it used to be--just takes time to recognoiter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general you'll have better luck with the mibs on a non-reflective surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted August 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Thank Ric, I used to know better and re-learning keeps the gray matter alive and kicking for sure. When I stopped my photo hobby due to raising a family and making money go where it should, digital was scoffed at for lack of any resolution compared to film---lol here we are! Any other tips will be appreciated. I don't do smart phones and this new camera is like learning a new OS. Technology is passing me up no doubt and some of it can pass for sure. I will conquer this one though--one image at a time. Image--on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Love the ones with both AV and ox. Those white and black ones are some of my favorite Heatons. I didn't find many of those during the digs but some people did. Here's one with both AV and ox. i have some better ones but haven't taken pics of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 One of my favorites of this type Heaton. Reminded me of Medusa with the green and snaky look. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
