I think my favorite is the first one in post #2, but it's so hard to choose. Great tumble! Amy

Tony, I am still trying different things with taking photos. I use a Kodak easyshare C875,
not spendy, but a good 8 megapixel with a real glass German lens. I set a microwave plate over a light, a kleenex over that, a towel to block excess light from the lens, and use the macro feature with timer on a tripod. Also a old incand. lamp above. Then I crop the photo down for posting.
This seems to have worked well for agates.
