  • I had fun in the last video taking those close ups of the binghamite, so I played around with some macro photography with some of my other polished rocks.

      I love the Mary Ellen Jasper. It’s between that and binghamite for my favorite.

    That was a great video. Of course, you always seem to be right, so I shouldn't be surprised.
    Question: How can I spot banded chert on a beach full of Petoskey Stones and puddingstones?

      I had a lot of fun taking the photos. I might have to get a dedicated macro lens so I can get even more detail.

    Minimalistic and very effective setup. Are you setting up exposure times or shudder variance? What piece of equipment are you looking to make or purchase next to upgrade your process and why that one? The whole 2 minute section is marvelous. Easily frame worthy. I could go on for days staring into these, thanks for bringing their beauty to us!

    • @99Rockhounding
      @99Rockhounding  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I usually set the aperture for a deeper depth of field and let the camera decide what shutter speed to use. Some rocks might need some adjustment if they’re too light or too dark.

  • @sandmaker
    @sandmaker 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing all the cool formations you find in the rocks when you look really close. Another good one, keep the goodness coming. I heard the camera click 3 times. Are you stacking the photos? Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

    • @99Rockhounding
      @99Rockhounding  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t stack them, but I have the camera set up to take 3 exposures in case there’s any movement or something weird. I might have to try stacking photos in the future though.

      I use an 18-55mm lens. It’s not the best for macro shots, but it’s got the closest focus range.
