I want to continue with the Rhodochrosites. I apologize for the poor photography of this Rhodochrosite specimen. It actually looks better in person than in the pictures, but I think a lot of crystals do.

Don,
I like your Uchucchaqua rhodochrosite. I think if you photographed it against a more neutral background the piece would look much better. I am certainly not an expert when it comes to photographing minerals, but I have found that brightly colored backgrounds tend to overwhelm most specimens. Just a suggestion.
Michael

Hello Michael, I am following your suggestion about using a more neutral background.
Thank you.

In my opinion these last shots are much better Don. Of course the best judge is you. I trust that you will agree that the neutral background shows off the piece much better.

These definitely show off the mineral better. You may also want to try a black background. Its interesting how changing the background affects one's perception of the specimen.
