so, THAT''S what a diamond looks like!?

[Dee*Jay]

Wait--you can't stop now! That thing is so gorgeous that it deserves to be photographed with all the spices in your rack! Dried parsley? Mixed color peppercorns? Surely you have some coarse ground salt lying around?!

 

[belle]

i hope you will post more pics, these are so fun!

 

[:)]

Captain polyester, I love the ingredients in your recipe! Congrats on that beautiful diamond - I am impressed!

 

[snlee]

WOW! Gorgeous diamond and pictures!

 

[FacetFire]

Oh, wow! It looks AMAZING! DO you know what setting it''s going into? (Or have I missed that thread?)

 

[genette]

Wow you take such nice diamond pics. It''s so clear and of course the diamond looks nice too.

 

[Sundial]

Wow that is one stunning diamond!!!

Whiteflash sure knows how to pack something don''t they?

Great pics.

I tried.

Good pics of diamonds are really difficult.

Kudos!

Would love to hear about your set up, equpiment, lighting, surface diamond is on, etc.
Pic would be worth a thousand words.

 

[diamondlove]

your photos are TERRIFIC and congrats on the purchase!!

Actually, I was going to start a thread about that one.
I''ve been looking for a while and have one picked out (but not locked into it yet).
I''ll start another thread, but was seriously considering a vatche royal crown with pave (all plat).

so, I"m up wayyyy too late, especially after spending so much time not sleeping in the last two days.


Anyone else want to see a couple more pictures I tried to shoot, just as an insomnia cure for me?

i hope my seeing the diamond in person doesn''t dilute the emphatic YES! to your question.. i would love to see more pics!

 

[CaptainPolyester]

Belle, looks like you and
I both don''t sleep much.

I tried these just on a whim.
I need a steadier hand to get them better, but how about a couple "cool" shots before I head to be?

 

[CaptainPolyester]

here''s another try

cool! literally. hehehe...
what kind of lighting did you use?

 

[CaptainPolyester]

herre''s a half way decent attempt

 

[CaptainPolyester]

just room lighting, and I threw a pile of ice over a small keychain flashlight, which gave it that kind of glow.
It was hard to get any clear shots. . . the diamond kept fogging up!

 

[diamondlove]

Creative lighting. Pretty cool.
