fun with the macro

By On 31 May ’10

I’ve worn my engagement ring for nearly twelve years now.  David proposed on June 18, 1998 at the Northwood Inn in Waco, TX.  I don’t think the wedding photographer got any pictures of our rings, so I jumped at the chance to photograph mine today with my brother’s borrowed 100mm f/2.8L IS USM macro.  This first one is straight out of the friggin’ camera.  NO LIE.  No photoshopping (other than resize) and it… dang, it looks like a painting.

I know… my rings are filthy.  They’re also over ten years old, and I’ve worn them every day.  Here are the rest of my favorites from today . . . some of the 85mm are included at the end, too.

    Wow, I really need to buy you some new rings (or get the current ones buffed to a sheen).

    OMG Jen those are STUNNING!!! I love the textures you used (must share!)! You are so creative – what is that gray leafy stuff?

    Dawn – the textures: they’re actions, part of the TRA Revenge set. I don’t know what the grey/white plant is… it was growing in a flowerpot in my mom’s back yard. I will have to ask her what it is.

    update: the white plant is “Dusty Miller”
