[Demelza]

Last one...I promise. Thanks for looking. I've so enjoyed looking at other's rings that I wanted to share mine.

 

[pqcollectibles]

WOW!! That sure is a sparkler!!

Thanks for sharing!!

 

[pauls girl]

Beautiful ring! Congratulations!

 

[Mara]

Beautiful!!!! You took some excellent photographs!!

 

[Patty]

Wow, it's gorgeous!!

 

[iceprincess]

Well done, what a beautiful ring! Great shots of those arrows in pic 1.

It looks like you took these pics outdoors, in the first two pics, how or what did you use to create the partial shading?


I've been trying to play around with my digital camera to get some decent photos of my new ring to show everyone here at PS, but have been really unsucessful. Any advice for a someone with no photography skills?

 

[Demelza]

First of all, thanks for the compliments on the ring and the photography.

Iceprincess,

My best advice is to continue to play around. I've been doing just that for several weeks and only now was I able to get some pics worthy of sharing. All of the pics were taken outdoors in the sun. I used my hand and the angle of my body to get those partial shading shots. Just keep fiddling around and you'll get some good pics. Can't wait to see them.

I agree IP...it took me about 40 random shots to get 1 good one. Sounds sad but true. That is why I have about 500 shots on my computer in my folder...but only maybe 10 good ones...hee hee.

Does that diamond have a small

light inside turned on, in picture #3 ? Nice !

I had some luck a few times taking pictures with my digital camera using the little flower macro, with the flash on, but shaded with a piece of white paper.

Of course, it didn't work all the time...

Wow Dem! You got a beauty!

Very sparkly and white and BIG! The photos are excellent!

I'd love to see some on your finger!

Enjoy your new ring.

 

[kpebbles]

wow! what a stunning ring..love all the sparkles. do you have any pictures of your ring on your hand?

 

[Demelza]

Thanks all for the nice words. I love it too. I don't have any pictures on my hand, but I'll work on that. To be honest, though, I'm not a big fan of my hands. I wish I had delicate, slim, long fingers. It's such a shame because I love rings so much I wish I had beautiful hands to wear them on. Oh well. What do you all suppose is the average finger size? I wonder if there even is such a thing.

Again, thanks for the compliments

Wow! Great job with the pictures. The ring looks stunning!!
