Flower Power by myautofocuslife

Flower Power

One of my favorite rings! It's at least 15 years old if not actually older, but it still makes me smile to see it. It's big and heavy too, but I like rings (and watches) like that.

Wow, it's beautiful. I'm tiny so I can't wear huge jewellery even though I like it. It's rare I find a ring that fits for a start :/ Freakishly child-size hands, fingers and wrists.

Beautiful lighting, color, and angle, Livia. Love seeing a part of you. Do you use a remote for your shutter to get this?! Just wondering. Great pov.

Beautiful ring
January 13th, 2012  
Well, that's quite a ring. Great shot.
January 13th, 2012  
@karenann Remote for the shutter? *is totally and shamefacedly clueless* I had the ring on my left hand and the camera in my right and that's how I took the shot. A terribly primitive way to photograph but it works for me. 8D
January 13th, 2012  
Sorry, Livia. I must have been "brain dead" . . people talk about taking remote pics. I have no idea how it's done either. I'm with you my friend. I would have taken your kind of photo the same way. (except that I'm left-handed!) :)
January 13th, 2012  
@karenann *LOL* Imagine if we attended a photography class together. We may be the most clueless people there who would actually hold something in one hand and take a photo of it with the other. 8D (And I have very mixed feelings about that, to be perfectly candid. *imagines the professional people shaking their heads and rightly so* I don't want to offend people who rightly believe the wrong method should not be encouraged. But I'm not aiming to be a professional photographer and I hope people are not upset with my photos or method.)
January 13th, 2012  
People LOVE your photos, Livia. And rightly so . . they're stunning. On the other hand, I think that we would "liven" the photography class up a bit with our "out of the box" thinking. :)
January 13th, 2012  
@karenann It amazes me, Karen, it does. I like my pictures but I'm always amazed when someone else likes them too. Wish I could go to a class with you. It'd be fun! 8D
January 13th, 2012  
wicked cool!
January 13th, 2012

January 13th, 2012
