Learning the art of photography - Day 2 - The Peacock Ore (Mineral)
A few years back I started purchasing gold & silver of Ebay. Not because of the value of it, but because I love looking at it. One day I came over the Peacock Ore, and I bought them so fast I didn't even register it:p I've always been pretty fascinated by minerals and now that I can take pictures of them, I might just buy some more.. And a new macrolens;)
I've had these small rocks(minerals) for about two/three years now and they still bring me joy just looking at them. I took some pictures of them with my new camera but couldn't get as close as I wanted, but still... Well, just take a look, they're absolutely stunning!
