Here are a few that just finished. The entire batch. A few bots. There are quite a few nice shadows in this group. Lakers Alimajos and some slabs I cut up with a glass cutter. Thanks for looking.

Some fantastic material in that batch. You set the bar too high too early, lol . I Really like the ones in the last photo. I have to ask what camera are you using for your pictures though? Really hard to make out details and the colors are pretty washed out. If that's all you got I get it but if there is anyway I can help on the photo end let me know. That last photo I just ran through an auto contrast/brightness setting on my phone. Chuck

It’s back to indoor photography and my iPad doesn’t do the greatest job. I think each photo has a different light source trying to get the photos to improve. Your edit made a huge improvement.

So do you know what version the IPAD is? I try to spend as little time as possible taking photos to post so I use my IPHONE 12 pro max to take the photos. Two swing arm lamps with LED bulbs and white printer paper. Usually smack dab in the middle of my messy workbench. This is the result. I do run them through the stock photo editor on the phone to correct white balance but that is really quick. Kind of adjust until the white paper is white. In some of your photos the paper towel has a yellow tint. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/101124/last-2022Chuck

Very nice first batch of the year. The Lakers are yummy! I really need to learn how to use the camera on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Starguy - I dug up this old photo I had posted here. This is the setup I have always used. Only difference since this photo is that I replaced the white gooseneck lamp with another swing arm lamp. Both with 60W LED daylight bulbs. Chuck

Looking good Brent you are way ahead of even if it's one only one batch I have issues with a glare of color on the white surface that creates like a halo effect around the rock. Any idea how to work on that?

Oh Brent!! You're outta the gate runnin' my friend! There's an Alimajos Agate on the top right that I would have almost swore was a Bubble Gum Agate! Very similar looking on that one!
