Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Puzzle Macro (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: bathroom
Date: Jun 19, 2007
Aperture: f/4

Shutter: 1/40

Date Uploaded: Jun 19, 2007

 A necklace my wife made, with one end showing one half of the clasp. Shot handheld with reversed lens held against camera body. I need a reversing ring...and/or an extension tube... Set lens aperture to f/4 for some additional DOF, and removed from camera body while holding DOF preview button so it wouldn't open up to 1.8.
Adjusted RAW file in RSE: increased exp comp, shadow contrast, and saturation. Exported to JPEG.
Photoshop: Curves, resized, applied USM filter twice, saved for Web.

I'm shocked I got this one.... I really didn't know then at the last minute thought maybe a clasp for jewelry and put that but wasn't sure.

Nice colors and focus on the main object.

Is this jewelry of some sort, a necklace or bracelet? It's a bit grainy and I wish there were more DOF because it looks really cool.
