Mineral Specimen Photography
Table top - glass plate

Table top photography with inclined view of camera is an alternative to vertical view with cameras on a repro stand. There are several reasons to this type of arragment: It is the way we "natural look" and it can handle very large specimens , which can be difficult for the vertical view of the camera. There is some tendency that larger specimens are photographed with inlined view and smaller with the digital microscope type of vertical view.

The glass plate (50x75 cm) on a home made frame. Below a row of swichable power plugs. All on a black background.
Such tables are also available from photo equipment suppliers.
