Tom Phillips Thin Sections ------------------------- Meteorite & Rock Art --- About Me

Welcome to my Meteorite & Rock Art Site.

Welcome to my meteorite / Rock Art site.

These images are presented as "ART". Some people may take exception to calling this "ART". I guess that is up to each person. I work with a full pallet of colors. With retardation filters and rotation in cross polarized light I can create just about any color. It is how the many different colors, present in each image, create the whole that determines the effect that image has on the viewer. A rotation, and subsequent change in one color, will change all of the colors in an image. The finished image reflects my choices in colors and how they balance each other, and (in my opinion) that makes it "ART". This is not a kalidascope!

Do not look at these images as a reference to identify thin section minerals. I do not alter colors with Photo Shop or color filters but I do manage color and contrast with cross polarized light and light retardation filters. (more) Click on text above,
