Deformed Rock Addendum

Deformed Rock

I thought that I had shown all the shots of this rock.  I went back to the Blog To Do folder and found these.  I thought the deformed straight lines were interesting.  I decided, regarding this shot, that I needed a little different angle on the "hump" in the top center.  

Deformed Rock
This is the angle that I liked.  I had a little problem with getting the lower left of the original sharp.  I tried several times and was about to give up.  I decided to crop it out.  This is the result.  It put the "hump" at the correct place in the shot to be the focal point.  A serendipitous victory!  This is indeed the last shot of this rock which I will share.

Deformed Rock

Deformed Rock
This is the wrap up video of this rock. The link takes you to the "Watch Videos" page of Larry's Images.  The video is at the bottom of the page.  It is called "Deformed Rock Video".  It, the rock, has much to offer in terms of interest and beauty, not to mention diversity.  I feel that the video makes the whole sequence of macro shots complete.  You must look at that sequence in order to appreciate this video:  Same Rock  Polarized Flash  Color of Deformed Rock Shot  

I used a CN-160 LED Light for lighting.  It was a gift from Carol at Christmas.  The light had a diffuser lens mounted and was set on full strength.  My first reaction was  that the effect was somewhat harsh.  As I continued to set up the shot, I decided that, at the given macro range, it was not too harsh.  

Movie Setup for Deformed Rock

I had most of the setup done in the light box before I thought that I might not need to use it.  I think that it still provided an improvement in the lighting.  I am excited that I was able to stabilize the drill.  I could not seem to hold it still by hand.  I can rest my hand on it, pull the trigger, and it remains steady.

In a final thought, the taxes are almost done and I hope to be more consistent at this blog going forward.

Same Rock

Same Rock
This is the bottom side of the same rock previously mentioned.  The diagonal line is an enormous cliff my macro standards.  There is an interesting crystal in the depression at the upper left.  My question is, "How could this be a part of the same rock we discussed last time?"  I think it could be that this was formed volcanically and was perhaps chunky lava.  Any way, it is interesting to view it.
