April Meeting Thursday the 5th 7-9 p.m.
Mineral Photography 101 By: Eric Orlowski
For the last several years, I have been fascinated with capturing the sculptural aesthetic side of the minerals in my collection. The impetus to start this was from my friend and fellow rockhound, Carolyn Reynard. She and I had been evaluating material donated to our mineral club and using her microscope to study specimens we couldn’t readily identify. The views through her ‘scope was captivating, and I haven’t looked back! During my presentation, I will be talking about what equipment is needed for a basic photography setup, and also touching on some methods for capturing and processing photos – both through of average size specimens with a typical camera and of micro specimens via a microscope. I’ll also share some tips and tricks to help optimize your photography experience and display some of my work at various scales and using different lighting types (even under UV light!). Mineral photography is a fascinating new way to enjoy your collection and I hope you’ll to find it as interesting as I!
Door prizes and raffles!
Warning: We will be doing wire wrapping in the near future!!! Stay tuned...
