Rock planting...I guess this falls under.

[Cadillactaste]

I got this rock off of Frank McDermott of Rustling Leaf Bonsai...you can find him over on Facebook.

I mucked up a planting area...used kanuma that I crushed to be smaller particles. Wired the satsuki azalea cutting and put the wire ends into the mucked wall areas to help anchor. Then added a tiny violet and some moss. I think it turned out...okay.

Use top down lighting and a black background, focus on the object with a HDR function that blurs out backgrounds. It should turn out completely black. I'm guessing the HDR video function is a standard iphone function.

I don't have an iPhone. So not sure.

Thanks...yeah...the Rock is super cool.

Black popup drop cloth for photography with stand in front of it. Just ceiling light no additional lighting...and editing once filmed just a tad to make the backdrop totally black without highlights of the light from above. Using a newer galaxy phone.

Guess I need to invest in a phone. My DSLR just does not give me this

Ahhh... possibly. I didn't want a new phone. I was forced out of my old phone. As they turned things off and it wouldn't work. I then...Google searched on desktop. Put it in another setting. Which made WiFi run it and it worked outside the home. But limited areas. My husband got me a new phone. Without my consent. because why have a cellphone and not be able to call out if needing too. But seriously...I don't go out often further than my small little town. But such is life. It had cool camera features though. Like editing video is cool.

Nice find. There’s some interesting environmental history captured in the rock's appearance. Nice work in developing a plan and executing the planting. Mighty fine!
