Masterful shaping to make those fortifications jump out and beautiful polish all around. Thanks for sharing. Thanks, Tim. The rocks do most of the work, they just need a little help.

The lines in those bots are making me dizzy. Fantastic batch of stones.
Peace,
Rich

Thanks! The botswanas came from The Rock Shed. I got some blue bots and 'plain' bots, five pounds each. They have been spread out over batches the last year or so. Still have more to add.
The camera is a Canon 60D. More importantly, the lens is a Canon EF24-105 f/4L IS USM. The lens makes a difference. Probably overkill for rock photos, but I already had the photo equipment.
I'll have to check out that camera and lens. Your photos are gorgeous. I've bought a few pounds of Botswana form therockshed as well, they were decent but pricey at $14/pound. I think some of the stuff I found on ebay were a bit better from a price/quality standpoint. Bots are some of my favorite to tumble as well. The camera and lens lens are definitely great gear but that is just part of the story. You have to really know what you are doing to get results like these.
