Well finally a batch outta polish- PS A digital camera (new) went on the CHristmas list THis is a special recipe- I liked the results 2 to 4 week in 60/90 (recharge once a week) 6 week 120/220 no recharge no peeking 1 week pre polish 1 week polish (ao) 24 hours in borax First is some odds of petrified wood Texas and Martson)  then some Fossil Agate  Then some Jasper and hematite  Picture Jasper (so awesome!)  Burro Creek Agate  And odds and ends (hmmm how did that ocean jasper get in there?  Sorry about the pix- I tumble rocks not take pix- I assure you they look a lot better than the pictures indicate- Oh well- I just previewed this- THe pix are worse than I thought! Hmm let me know if I should turn in my stars! |

Awww Steffy, it's not your fault, it's photo bucket's fault, they are messin with your pics. I see lots of shine on them though so you must be doing something right. Oh yeah, tell me, how DID that ocean jasper get in there ?? huh? Does Mrs Stefan know about that? *smile*

Stefan, you tease.
What kind of photo software are you using? Does it allow you to enlarge/move in closer once the pic is loaded? How about once the pic is taken, but before it's loaded?

Misses Stefan has not allowed any rocks in the house in a long time- But I think that OJ might have been some do overs?  My photo software is the stuff that came with my HP camera (low about 6 years ago!) I could play with the stuff in photoshop at work but as the saying goes- garbage in garbage out! Nope it is time to give the HP to the kid and get a real camera- |

They look very nice (I think, lemme get my binoculars) I only have a 17" monitor & I can't see a thing but they look nice & shiny (I can't even see the OJ in that last pic) - I can see the plate though  |

just delete the images at photobucket, and reload your pictures to the correct size.... then come back here and modify your post.

Those look great. If you have a program on your computer that will allow you to "crop" the picture you will get a little closer view of your subject.

I have tried everything to get in close (yes I even read the manual!) Well turns out my camera is good only to 3 feet (ok so a quarter size rock at 3 feet- well you get the idea) and the resolution isn't very good (I can't remeber what it was) so there you have it- I'll try the photobucket thing (delete and re-post) this weekend if I have some extra time (dial up don'tcha know) But I kinda like the thought of taking the pix from the roof (I think my homeowners will cover the $2000 camera that fell off the roof!)
