Nice images. I moved this thread to Technical and Studio Photography. The "Macro and Closeup Archives" forum is for old threads, before we split Nature apart from Technical & Studio.

Some beautiful specimens there. Oscar. I imagine you going off to the mountains each weekend, armed with not only a tonne of cameras, but a pick and shovel as well :).

Depends Chris, sometimes I go to a mine and I'm going with the helmet / lights, peak, etc.. Other times I'll deposits in the mountains or quarries. But I almost never go with a camera for several reasons; the minerals usually come dirty, the camera does get dust, etc.

Almost all the photos I do are at home after cleaned once reduced minerals.

Put four minerals more.

Best regards, Oscar.
