Heart of Stone

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

This evening I was without a photo. I told PJ that I had no idea what to make a picture of today, and she produced this rock which she found rather fascinating. Interesting looking enough, I thought, and then I ran it under the tap and got it damp.

It was then that I saw what had caught her eye. The reds, yellows, and oranges just popped out.

With a neutral background, lighting from the kitchen lights supplemented by a flashlight just grazing the stone, and a one second macro exposure stopped down as far as I could go, you get to see it, too.
