Sorry, 200x or more magnification, hence the +200x magnification? Or is this a typo?

Hi Jim, The gold was covered with Epoxy. That's why it has a shiny coating under 200+ mag. Its interesting that the further you go with this the more the gold looks like a powder instead of a flake. Or maybe its just my old eyes.
I like the first stack the best. So the Polaroid ring appears to be working for you. Are you pleased with the results you are getting?

I can't be sure if it is dust or a flake that's the way I bought it.
Not sure either if it's natural to the rock or not. Shot from the back side of the coaster seems to show the gold embedded in the Quartz.
I am pleased with the Polaroid Ringflash. I has many different ways to adjust it. Levels from -1.5 to +1.5, flash from the right or left, light on for video or setting up your shot with the exact flash you'll be using. I does all that I would expect from a Ringflash. It doesn't replace a Softbox for what it's needed for. Both together gave me the under over lighting I wanted in the last stack. Of course I'm still the rank amateur in DSLR digital photography.

I think I'll agree, a little over the top on the PP. I may enhance the contrast just a little, and the sharpening just a tad also, and leave it at that... I like it to look as natural as possible. You'll love that 150-600!
Thanks DL, I keep that in mind. I don't plan on working the stuff I have any more. I'm planning ahead with techniques for the 150-600.

OH what the heck, I tried to to sweeten the Contrast and Sharpening a little.

Great shot with your equipment. You are up late! Gary :roll:
Thank you Gary,
Yes the gear I have today is not really up to the task of quality Astrophotography. Next week I'll really cut loose with the 150-600mm. Moon and deep Sky work.

You have all the Waterfowl, wish I was in the Willamette Valley this time of year.Insects are rare these days: freezing temperatures, followed by heavy wind and rain. I think the remaining bugs have blown to northern California.

I have trouble lining up elements within one shot...trying multiple exposures melded into one would be ridiculous for me! Way beyond my technical "talents". I leave the tough stuff with you younger folks! You all amaze me!

Hi Bob, Thank you but I've seen plenty of your work and it is fabulous. I really like you resent 'Asian Pear Blossoms', Great bokeh, lighting, focus and composition. Real eye catching.

Best hurry and by one before the price goes down again! I got mine for $100.
Now if only there was a CIS, continuous ink supply, for this printer, I would open my box. Oh well, someday.

Hello DPullum Craig here,
I got mine for $180.00 with lots of Photo Paper. 300 sheets of 8"x10".
But me too, the price of ink has kept me from using it.
I know when I start printing It will be on like Donkey Kong.
And $180.00 will be modest compared to the cost of Ink.
