Good grief. Amateur pro. Both sides, one photo ? Dang photographers. Cool fossiliferous stone. Can not tell what type of fossils. Marine most likely. Don't think they are Bryozoans.

Another great batch! I'm also running a batch from txrockhunter. They seems to be taking their sweet time.

I am guessing those are bots. If so great looking bots. Nice batch.

Not sure which post I should reply to?!?! All fantastic, as usual..... Really like the Botswana's from this post and the palm woods from #1!
Love sending you rocks, letting you tumble them, and looking at your professional photos! Lazy man's tumble!

That rhyolite is pretty neat. Got plenty more of your material tumbling and in reserve.

Amazing tumbles as always. Love the bots. Can I ask you where you generally bought your botswana material and what camera you use?

Good grief. Amateur pro. Both sides, one photo ? Dang photographers. Got to keep pushing the bar, right James.
That rock came from Jeremy, labeled as rhyolite. He picked it up on his trip up to Arizona, I believe.

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.

Otherwise, it was something I picked up from AzRockGeek, while in AZ. I found some good material that is solid enough to tumble, but it's a small % of what I brought back. That bar is getting pretty high, Randy....... might want to slow your roll .

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.
