Color In A Rock
This is a rock (precious art object) that we acquired on one our our trips to Arizona or Utah.
Lighting info: Simple lighting with a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box camera right at 3 o'clock. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. To make it look more colorful I wiped it with olive oil as water or oil brings out the color, just as rocks in a stream look way more colorful than dry rocks sitting alongside the stream.
Other pictures I've taken of rocks can be seen in my Rocks set www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157631898864615/. In the set description, I emphasize how relatively (it is photography, after all) inexpensive and easy it is to use off camera flash to light things. I also list good resources that will help you in learning how to do this.
Like most images, it looks best when viewed large. Press "L" if you'd like to see it in that enlightened manner.
