Surface of Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz

I set out to include the detail of the surface in these images.  I added flash to reveal the texture.  I liked flash placement best higher than even with the subject.

Rose Quartz

I experimented with exposure and flash compensation.  This is the one I like best.  It had ec = -4 and fec = +1

Sigma 105 mm Lens, full Kenko Extension Tube Set, Canon 500D

I did not have much of an idea how I wanted to achieve my goal.  I experimented varying the ec a stop at a time.  Later I varied the fec a stop at a time.  I came upon a result that I liked.

I also used the 3D function of Helicon Focus.  I don't have the Pro version so the images are imprinted but it gives the idea.
