Amethyst
Semiprecious stone
On a road trip through Brazil
We had decided to stop in a small town for the night and took a walk around to see what we could find. We found a little shop that was filled with Amethyst of all shapes and sizes. The shop owner told us that all the rocks come from a mine in the north or Uruguay and are transported by trucks into Brazil, where they are broken open and polished to be sold.

Macro Photography contest entry
This macro was created by focus stacking."Focus stacking is a digital image processing technique which combines multiple images taken at different focus distances to give a resulting image with a greater depth of field than any of the individual source images."
This was my first attempt at this technique. The resulting image did not turn out the way i hoped and the image did need some heavy cropping.
