FossilNerd Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 My compliments on your ability to photograph the smaller specimens so well! It’s not always easily done, and all of your photographs are excellent. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 @FossilNerd Thank you so much. It has taken a lot of trial and error to figure out how to take the best photos with what I have. I am not a "photographer" with a fancy camera and the knowledge of how to use it! hhahha! I use a Cannon point and shoot for anything over 1/4 inch and then my microscope camera for anything smaller. The trick is the lighting. The Ring Lights they sell for video are just perfect for fossil pictures! 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighting seems to be my biggest issue as well. I have multiple lamps that I try to angle, but one inevitably cast a shadow that I don’t like. I never thought of using a light ring. I’ll have to look into that!

Top Trilo Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I never really thought gastropods were all that remarkable, but your images may be changing my mind. 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieLynn Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I'll go with a few more gastropods since that is what I am working on classifying right now anyways.
