Clarke Art Institute Granite
I am embarking on a new project to create some shots based on granite that was used for additions at the Clark Art Institute. These are intended to be used by Bud Wobus, professor emeritus of geology at Williams College, during an upcoming talk at the institute.
I am still in the exploratory phase experimenting with lighting and getting to know the samples he was kind enough to lend to me. More to follow here.

I have been working on fine tuning the lighting to highlight the variety in these specimens. The super bright highlights have been difficult to deal with even in diffuse lighting. I am still in the exploratory stage working with very low magnifications but I think I have identified some areas to evaluate with higher power objectives. It is still all preliminary at this point.

I am staring to get the lighting worked out (I think) and have moved to 5 times higher magnification with a larger span. It is starting to get much more interesting at this point. Still digging in on refining things but It is getting closer. This is an intermediate grab of a shot that is about 70% finished with the primary image processing with about 16 hours left to go.
