Mineral Specimen Photography
Table top - black -and more- background on glass plate
| Black
background in mineral specimen table top photography is an
interesting alternative. It is often not so simple but can give very
aesthetic results. As the specimen is resting on a transparent glass,
light can directed to the objact also from below. The footprint of this
setop is rather large . Glass is not visible, but it refects , so a
dark
background is essential behind and below the glass plate.
The specimen itself is also reflected on the glass, but the
limited dynamic range of digital photography hides this to a large part. |

| Setup used for the picture below. The background it totally black due to the black table and black cloth behind the glass plate. |

| For a slight blue light behind the specimen, a blue sheet is illuminated by a LED (daylight) spot. This spot has to be balanced with the specimen illuminations. |
