jewelry photo ~ sneak peek

this past Sep, I did a little photo shoot of some jewelry, here's

one of my favorites.... the jewelry is courtesy of a good friend.
this is only a tiny fraction of her collection :-) I love the colors in this one!

canon 500D close-up lens

just got it in the mail yesterday, the canon 500D close-up lens. here's a sample photo using it on my 70-200mm. it's no macro lens, but it's definitely an affordable alternative, at about $150. another nice feature is its size, it's about the same size as a filter.
