Macro Panoramic - “Dendritic Jasper” Rock.

This is a “dendritic jasper” rock, a cut piece that is polished and flat.
There are many dendritic rocks that can give one the appearance of a landscape with plants and/or trees scattered about.
Using a macro lens, a macro slider, tripod, and a level base for each the rock and the tripod can give a individual many opportunities to create something different.
This piece of jasper is about 4 inches wide, and about 3 inches in height.
I stitched two images together to create this piece with a panoramic feel.
The upper portion has a touch more green, but I had a devil of a time with lighting and capturing it accurately.

Now, ….. you should see the tryptchs!

This is sweet. The stones which have the micro landscapes within them are quite unique finds.

What are you using for your leveling base Michael?

This is a lovely photo. It has the appearance of a sandy beach looking over the dune plants toward the ocean…Incredible!

At first glance, I too thought this was a shoreline image.

Glad to see you posting so much as of late.

You have opened up a new world to me. I had no idea rocks could look so beautiful!

Thanks again everyone.

Mark, I simply had this piece sitting on the table upright.
I made sure that the table was level with a old bubble type level, and the hot shoe level on the camera.
Then I leveled up the tripod, and I even put a small level on the macro slider.
I simply tried to level up the whole ball of wax as closely as I could and go from there.
Maybe not the best way of doing it, but hey, … it worked for this one! :)

Thanks again,
Michael

About

Michael Brown - Photographer
South Carolina - USA

This is my blog journal, a journal about the art that can be found in nature, about macro photography, and other topics of interest! I’m just a typical American boy, from a typical American home in South Carolina, and one who enjoys exploring all the possibilites of capturing artistic abstracts in the world of macro. This journal has been created not only as a outlet for my thoughts about the world of nature photography, but hopefully as a place where others may visit, … and maybe learn something from it. Currently I am working with various clients and art buyers, finishing up a site strictly for sales, plus working on a area here at home for the new printer and other systems that I will be installing.
