More marble pics. Oops, looks like I missed cropping one.
Great marbles! Great pictures!
those stands are beautiful!
and top notch photos!
Great submissions this year. This is so cool to see all this work represented so nicely. Photographing the vortex ones I have found to be challenging in my experience.
agreed, it's sometimes hard to show the depth of the vortex.
Thanks guys! I'm really glad to present pictures of everyone's submissions in a relatively standardized format.
I'd be happy to hear tips from anyone on how to better show off vortexes (vortices?) and dichro. Or general comments on ways to improve the images for that matter.
It looks like one of the two last outstanding packages will be delivered Friday. I'm hoping to do the exchanges on Saturday and then begin packing them up for shipping to their new homes.
With dichro, use less light.... no flash.
With the vortexes turn them a little tiny bit to one side, or use a light set off to the side to get the shadows...
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I'm making a vortex right now.
I always get the light to shine on one side.

Seems to work for me.
Wish I would have entered this. I say that every year around this time.
If you set aside one marble a month for a year you'd be ready with the max number of entries.
(that's my plan for the next year, BTW since I'm otherwise prone to procrastination)
That's a good idea. I'm gonna try that.
BulletProof- I didnt make it in time either. Id do a marble swap with you if you want! I make some pretty decent marbles. :)

How may possible combinations are there for 271 marbles?
I don't exactly know, but I seem to be working my way through them all.
Trying to make sure I don't inadvertently send anyone their own work back or two of another artists. Gaaaaah.
You didnt get lost in all those marbles did you?
Or maby all the packing tape.
No rush, just a bump because I have a cool new marb in the kiln.
I'm actually entering shipping info tonight. Probably won't get finished with that until tomorrow, but everything is sorted and packages will be ready to mail on Monday.
^ +1... Thanks for everything again, appreciate your time & service. Also thanks to everyone who participated. They all look beautiful, can't wait to see what mibs get sent my way!
