Hi again, this is Northwest Jam with Mark and Tony. This is Fire Ag at Mark and I'm here with Tony Rose and we're gonna take some pictures of Fire Ag at we're gonna do it in sunshine we're gonna do it in shade so this is just a little teaser so if you see something while we're photographing let me know if you have a question about taking pictures of Fire Ag. We'll get right back to you and we'll try to get it on the second part of this video in the follow-up. Today is sunny day so tomorrow's supposed to be cloudy. Hopefully we get the difference in the stones to give an idea because cloudy days are my favorite for taking pictures so like I said please make sure you're dropping a comment if you have anything. Alright let's take a look at what we have on the table here. We have a couple of finished pieces down here and we have those in full sun and we're gonna zoom on in a little bit and see if we can see more detail and then we're gonna zoom back out and now let's look at some of this rock. Sometimes I get a picture and somebody's saying hey can you help me take a look at this rock and this is the setting it's in the middle of some other rocks it's not being focused on it's not being centered. Now if you could zoom in on that for me please it's a lot easier to see the details now this is the stone dry. I like to soak the stones for a couple of minutes with a few drops of jet dry because you get a better resolution and you start to see the banding and more detail and clarity in the stone so that's good also keeping your camera steady as key. Alright another part is when you're photographing this is this is one of the stones that I just had wrapped by a good friend Laura Roy's she's an amazing wire wrapper and I did the stone at some purple Aoscallantes fire ragged so the difference between full light and sunlight this is natural versus it'll take a second to adjust but then you can see how it is in filtered daylight so these are two different conditions we're gonna get better pictures tomorrow and in the follow-up feed because I'll I'll show you exactly what I'm looking for. Alright let me come around to this side here's some gorgeous high grade fire ragged from Aoscallantes this is the black rock it's got that telltale when they talk about black rock it's the that black oxidization on the outside you can see the lips and then this is the same thing wet with some of the colors just exposed thin layer of calcetney this little sandy calcetney that's gonna come through and open up to the rock when you're taking a picture you should have a focal point set the rock down we want to make sure we're capturing the light as best as we can and then see if we can get in on the the stone we want to zoom in so that there's no giant border we don't want to be able to see my my fingers outside if we can zoom in on the stone then this is what your focus is this is what you're looking at and it's a lot easier to identify details of the stone and it's good to take frequent pictures of their stones as you go because your stone will capture certain things in the stone as you're working that your eyes won't generally see so when you're looking at the the picture of your work sometimes you're better able to identify something zoom in and go oh my gosh that's what I have to work on next so frequently as I'm working I'm taking pictures of what I'm doing it'll it'll help you identify those little lips those little bubbles and you'll see oh my gosh you know it's got a little dark spot and if I just turn the stone around come back and carve into it well then I can expose that color and I'm good to go so this is just a little teaser of what we're gonna have on the next full video and we're gonna be filming it with a light box we're gonna be filming it with some clouds and here it is just natural full sun wonderful day with Mark and Tony and we're out here if you haven't subscribed already please click subscribe and please click like and if you have any questions reach out to fireaggetmark at gmail.com and we'll see you later take care thank you everybody thank you bye now bye for the set that X that's perfect
