Fools Gold
Macro Mondays theme Iron
Fools gold is a common name given to iron pyrite which is a sulfide mineral of iron. It has a wonderfully lustrous surface which is great at reflecting light.
I had two lights pointing at this nugget, one from the top right and one from the bottom left - to try to minimise the shadows cast by the first light. I quite liked the reflections and colours it produced.
I took this this morning but then ran out of time to post and have been struggling to catch up eversince. Now I can sit down and admire everyone elses lovely images!
The width of frame here is just under 4cm.
Happy Macro Monday! π
