the only thing more beautiful than these pictures is you (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

Great stuff Brenton!!
I find it funny that I really liked some of the rocks and searched for them on ebay, only to be disappointed that the pictures there look nothing like your photos.

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

can i use these for sm gfx?

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

Sure, go ahead.

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

Sweet. Also pretty sweet that you're still doing this and would like to read descriptions on your recent posts like you did before

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

I've enjoyed the descriptions.
also, are these all your crystals, and how much roughly is this sort of stuff worth?

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

The photos I make take anywhere from half an hour up to several hours per photo. I think most people on ebay won't want to spend that much time taking photos, or they most likely lack a sufficient macro photography setup. Quite honestly I am often tempted to take phone photos when I sell stuff and reserve these better photos for nice-looking pieces.

Sure I can add descriptions in again then.

Also, if you were looking for gfx for sm files and whatnot, I have other photos not yet shown here.

Out of the stuff I posted so far, all of the specimens belong to me. Later on I'll have a few specimens that belong to other collectors, but almost all specimens are from my own collection. That can change if I can get a photography service going...

The value of these specimens vary greatly. Mineral specimens can range from free (dig it yourself) to several million dollars. I'd say most specimens I have would value below $200, and some others a lot more. Even so, valuation is really subjective compared to other hobbies such as coin or card collecting, where there are annual catalogs that basically dictate prices.

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

if you could post them that would be cool. these pictures are really pleasing to look at and i think would make pretty sweet gfx for files.

Re: bmah's Crystal Photography
 

No time for descriptions at the moment, will add them later, but for now here are some more old photos:















note: These are all low-res photos. If anyone's interested in a higher-resolution photo, please send me a PM.
