Others My Favourite & Largest Geode

[Greg Shchepanek]

I have had this geode since I was a wee boy it was purchased from the Canadian Museum of Nature by my Uncle as a present. I used Google Pixel 4a for the lighting on the crystal that has two minerals to it...I like the top portion the best and I hope you like it as well.

That's a difficult subject to shoot Greg Shchepanek because it has just a flat surface. So you cannot highlight any geometrical structures. I would try to focus on small really small details like this part here:



I would also try to play a bit with the light. Maybe from beside to highlight the structures by creating more contrasts? Something like that...

With the suggestion of Helix_2648 I took this new view of the geode:

Canon EOS M100 • EF-M28mm f/3.5 MACRO IS STM • ƒ/3.5 28.0 mm 1/60 500 Flash (off, did not fire)
