Self-indulgent outside photoshoot...

[tberube]

I promised GemALLogist that I''d finally take some sun photos of my ring, now that I have my own back yard. Well, the sun is in and out today and not that strong, but I''m sick with the PLAGUE and needed to cheer myself up.

I swear, though...no matter how good of a camera you have (Nikon D40x DSLR), photos just NEVER capture all the fine details! It''s sort of maddening. As I type, my diamond is sparkling away like a little fairy, but none of the 86 pictures I took of it would get it right.

But anyway, here''s my little photoshoot...

another....I have a few more so I hope nobody comes in early and misses the end of the show...heehee

...I was trying my best to capture the fire, but the camera didn't like it and wouldn't shoot until I moved the ring and lost the fire. Stupid ultra sophisticated cameras....yeesh. I'm thinking of going back to the cheapy point-and-shoot.

...sun went away...

 

[tberube]

...more....hope you''re not bored yet...

 

[tberube]

When the sun went away I came back inside and took a few with diffused lighting...one of my favorites...in my dining room.
It's just too bad that the camera didn't want to see the details like I was seeing them.

HOW did I get chubby hands?! My hands are NOT chubby!!!!

 

[tberube]

...one more...this one would have been really close to reality, had it not come out blurry...grr

 

[tberube]

Last one....Okay I''m done bragging now for the umpteenth time. Thanks for indulging me!!

Oh! Stop the presses! I have a great sunken window sill in my kitchen, and when I took my ring off to do dishes, I noticed it was glowing!! So I took some more pics.

NOW THAT is more like what my ring looks like in real life!!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

ooh, thanks for your kind words, Pixley and love in bloom! I wish those first ones had come out better, though!!

Hey rube, your ring is beautiful and you did take some very nice shots! I know what you mean about being frustrated by what the camera catches. I can''t figure that out either. Outside, my rings sparkle like a mad prism. There are colors flashing everywhere, and yet it doesn''t record those beautiful colors. I wish someone could explain that to me too.

LOL, the plague is going around. I think it''s the annual "change of the season" plague! I hope you feel better soon!

 

[AmberGretchen]

OOH - love those last shots. Its so much easier to capture them when they are not on your hand, isn''t it?? Thanks for sharing - such a lovely ring

tberube, I don't know if I've ever commented on your ring, but it's just so lovely!
It's really perfect on your hand. I love the contrast of the EC with the rounds in the halo. I love ECs! Yours is another that makes me want one! It's beautiful!

Thanks for posting these lovely shots!

Sorry you have the plague--ugh. I had it a month ago--down for over a week!

Feel better soon!

 

[tberube]

thanks, everyone!!!

 

[DiamanteBlu]

I love that ring! Thanks for posting more pics - especially the windowsill ones.

 

[diamondringlover]

[emilina22]

AAAWWWWWWWEE! That made my day - how sweet, thanks so much, March!

Blu - nice to see your posts again, my friend. Thanks for the compliment!

Emilina and Diamond - thanks for coming by to see! I love your rings too....yummies!!

Coatamundi - I actually found that one of the reasons I picked the style I did is because of the contrast between the EC and rounds.

Gemgirl - I think I just need to figure out how to use a DSLR camera to take these shots - or buy a different lense (probably what I need to do). Because not a single picture I''ve ever taken of my ring has shown nearly how fiery this little baby can be!!

AmberGretchen - I think I''ve learned that''s the key - take the darn thing OFF your hand before taking pictures...heehee!

I love, love, love your ring! I have been looking around here for weeks & your ring is one of my favorites

My boyfriend & I are in the process of looking for my ring & I was wondering if you''d mind sharing what size stone you have? And the measurements? I''m hoping for a ring that fits my finger just the size of this one, I''m a size 6.

Again, I love your ring!!

 

[tberube]

How sweet of you to say, msjewell! Thanks! I wear a size 6.5 ring. I could probably get away with a 6, but I don''t like it to feel/look too tight in the summer. But I digress. The diamond is .90ct, and its measurements are 6.46 x 4.88.

Best of luck in your search for blingies!!
