A beautiful Montana. Photos are getting dialed in, too. I tried three different setups for the Montana, back lit worked best. The other three were taken to 100,000 grit but the polish doesn't show. I can't attempt to sell until I take good pictures. I took at least 20 pictures of the 4 cabs and the only one I am satisfied with is the Montana. |

I usually take about the same number, under various lighting before I find one that is OK. I then do some adjustments with PSE. All I have is my SE phone, which has no adjustments on it. One thing I noticed was that when I have a plain background, with no texture, the focus was better. That plus a combo of natural light and LED lighting. Cannot wait until I can set up my patio table and photograph items outside, as that has always been the best. I did have some success with a home made light tent. Your items are beautiful and I hope you can get the photos dialed in. |

I like the first one. It looks like a mountain scene with a river flowing out of it, and a blue sky above. I am not sure what kind of rock it is, but it turned out real well, I think.

The Montana moss agate is killer..... I cut and cab 100's of them,(Flat top also) always had to put mine in a light box for a good photo shot... I tried with my cell ph: it leaves a white spot on the material, with the flash (not good)..
Great job on them all....
