Macrotacular.

<p>Time for another installment of Macronificent, starring <a href=”http://www.sweetjaneonline.com/blog” target=”_self”>Sarah</a> and Steph.&#0160; I think we&#39;ll just go ahead and rename it every week to keep it fresh.&#0160; This weeks challenge:&#0160; <em>sparkle.</em></p>
<p>I figured, what better encompasses the word sparkle than the new piece of bling on my left ring finger. (<em>Somewhere out there, my friend Amanda just barfed a puppy, a unicorn, &amp; a bag of skittles.</em>)&#0160; I know you are all probably rolling your eyes at me, but I can&#39;t help myself…&#0160; I&#39;m still in shock, and I&#39;m madly in love.&#0160;</p>
<p>I have to admit a couple things about this image…&#0160; #1 is that I completely copy-catted Sarah&#39;s ring shot from her most recently posted wedding (scroll down an entry on her blog and you&#39;ll find it there) because, well, the reflection of the ring in her shot had me swooning off my seat.&#0160; #2 is that I nearly frustrated myself into <em>QUITTING</em> with this ring shot.&#0160; Internet, photographing rings is HARD.&#0160; Finding the manual settings that will give you exactly the light and focus and depth of field you want, when you are that close to your subject, is HARD.&#0160; [STOMP STOMP.]</p>

<p>Now head on over to the <a href=”http://www.sweetjaneonline.com/blog” target=”_self”>Sweet Jane blog</a> to check out Sarah&#39;s sparkle, and leave some love!&#0160;</p>
