New Year, New Pictures

January 4th, 2009 @ 11:45 am by Mrs. Caramel

After getting some sudden inspiration from the ring pictures that have been posted, I decided to take out my 6-year-old Canon Rebel SLR and start shooting again. I never found much pleasure in taking pictures of people, but rather detailed shots of inanimate objects. (At least inanimate objects won’t shriek and run away!)

Here I am, fooling around with Christmas lights and crouching at our small windowsill! (I used a macro lens for most of these.)

I love the soft glow of Christmas lights! I’m the type of person who wants Christmas lights as the main lighting of the room, all year round!

Different lighting makes all the difference! I used a separate flash for these. I really dislike using the flash on the camera itself—I only use that for emergencies!

I absolutely love my wedding band—almost as much as my e-ring! I wear it every day and love how it is so simple and light!

I remember that I kept going back & forth about wanting a princess-cut ring or a round-cut. Luckily, Mr. Caramel created this masterpiece to look almost like a shape in-between those two cuts.

Don’t forget about your husband’s rings! I’m going to have a mini photo shoot of Mr. Caramel’s ring too!

What a lovely ring and photos!

There’s a GREAT article in Budget Travel Magazine about photography. All about lighting, which settings to use for what and gives good examples of each as well as bad examples.

I am definitely now going to become photo saavy and when the sparkly is placed on my finger on our engagi-moon trip soon, I will probably spend several hours at the resort just photographing it. :)

Beautiful rings! I’m the same with Christmas lights- we used our white oversized round patio lights for our mantel, so I’m trying to convince Mr. Taffy that we should just leave them up! ;)

I am anti-flash as well. I need to get an attachment so I can make it my slave and flash from different angles to make things look all professional and cool like you did!

I’m so glad to hear that people think it is vintage! That was exactly what I was going for— I definitely want this ring to be passed on from generation to generation in my family. But no, Mr. Caramel got the ring custom designed based off of a picture I showed him online.

I think it helped that I showed him pictures and styles that I liked, but he still finalized the last details. So it was still a surprise to me in the end, but he basically designed the layout. Lots of places customize rings, and if you don’t care about the label/brand, I highly suggest doing the same!
