Earth Gem

Really crappy day today outside, so I set up a little "studio".

First off: I'n not big on posting a photoshopped image as a "photo" as this would be impossible to do in real life. That said, I liked the way this came out.

I was just messing with PS filters after doing a crop and brightness adjust, and I thought the "earth" looked cool.

This is a few gemstones with a red laser and green laser hitting from top and side. They are sitting on a "pass thru" beam splitter; to try to split more light back up after reflecting...then blow smoke on the whole thing.

freehand (too lazy to grab a tripod), super macro
PS:crop, brightness and contrast, glowing edges filter
