Full Version: Remarkable Rocks
Well, let's keep this going. Here are a few from a portfolio I've recently been working on that I call "granite topology".
Great textures...

I certainly do, but alas only on film. I'm hoping to find a scanner some time: having those negatives and slides and not being able to do much with them is so frustrating!

Nice! I particularly like the third one.
Mike.
Here are a couple from my trip up to the Keweenaw Peninsula, along Lake Superior. Lotsa color in this strip along the coast. Great place to go hunting rock pictures!
Here are a few from Kelowna's Mission Creek. All but the last one are from Gallagher's Canyon.

Both very good, although I get the impression that the horizon on the first (which I prefer) is sloping downwards to the right.

There's some nice work in there Mike. The image with the tree bowing toward the rock is outstanding.

Thanks. The one thing missing from that image is perspective. I have a similar image, taken a year ago, with a man and his grandson standing at the base of the tree. Let me see if I can find it...

Thank you both very much. I've been struggling with the issue of how to achieve a visual unity with these, before I travel half way round the world again to have another go, and attempt the stones I didn't want to photograph last time. Number 1 isn't part of the series, and number 9 I may leave as is. But I think properly converted and printed they will make more sense as a whole in B&W. Unfortunately I have no idea yet how to really do this. Um, another learning curve coming up this year

. DavidI think that B&W is the way to go ..... following what many noted photographers have done in the past. Rich, bold tones!!!
Brinham Rocks North Yorkshire England. After spending six months shooting rocks in the four corners I returned home to find this amazing rock not far from my house!
Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, CA
Just back from Tasmania which is a great place for a rock tour. The Bay of Fires is a very scenic area which has orange lichen covered rocks, white sands and stormy skies. Here are a few new images.

collum, those are remarkable rocks, they make me so very curious, what are they, can you explain some more?
In the netherlands we don't have rocks, or, better, no rocky grounds, only some in the very south and east. The rest is all alluvial, sediments from rocky Germany and Switserland. But during the ice-ages the scandinavian glaciers brought some real big stones, collecters-items. I don't have images from them. So, some summers ago in an Belgian green river I was busy with imaging the reflecting greens. Between the green a rock, hardly a quality-image, although the green is nice:

Both these shots were taken in Arches National Park, UT.
Like the shot from Arches very nice. Would make a great pano. I collect rocks more than shoot them. But I have been looking and documenting the rocks and soon plan to execute some trips too spend the time needed to really make it happen. But here is one that I posted in another topic. Thanks for sharing. Tim

They are all fabulous, but this one really stands out for me. One day I will have the time and space to experiment with these lovely "alternative" techniques.

Love the red leaf in the middle. Sets off the rest of the image perfectly.

Golly there are some good images from everyone this month.
In an effort to hit eight pages for this thread here are a few shots from the Onawe Peninsular and surrounds.

Love the face in the middle one, David!

That's probably the right colour balance given the shade, but I'd be tempted to warm it up a bit. Nice shot, though!
