my new favourite possession

I got a new camera a couple weeks ago, it's beautiful and I am very proud of it.  However, up until today, I didn't know much more than how to turn it on ...I hadn't even figured out how to focus it to take clear pictures.  So today I gave myself my first (of what I am sure will be many) tutorials and focused in on my new favourite possession - my engagement ring. 

I think that I grow more and more in love with each passing day, sometimes I find myself just staring at it.  Wondering how anything could be so beautiful.  I may be slightly bias but it's the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.

Anyways, I am definitely no expert yet, but at least I can finally post some pictures ...I have been getting a lot of requests and for some reason could not get a clear shot with my other digital.  Apparently my ring is high class and refuses to be captured by an amateur camera.  Go figure.

As I mentioned in my engagement announcement - Wayne & I went with an amethyst rather than a diamond.  He is set on replacing it with a diamond when we make it back to Canada, but I can't imagine anything being more perfect.  The amethyst is a traditional stone in Korea, and is believed to have healing power. 

Very funny sidenote: I just looked it up online and in Greek, Amethyst means - "not drunken" and in history was believed to save people from intoxication.  It gets more and more perfect as we go along.

So here is my first ever photoshoot.
