Best Seller

This image is one of my favorites. This is a friend’s ring and one Sunday night, she and her husband came over for dinner. I then saw her ring and asked her if I could take some pictures of it. She immediately took it off her finger and hand it to me.

The original image shows a lot more shadows. One of the biggest things that I did to make my image perfect is to take off all the shadows. I made the background way darker so the image focuses on the ring. I raised the vibrance of the image to make the colors way stronger and so it is easier to see that the ring is rose gold. As well, I played with the colors to make the center diamond look a little blue.

I asked my classmates about any edits that could be done to make it better. One of the things they told me was to sharpen the diamond in the center way more. That was the last edit I made to make it stand out way more.

I decided to look over the different options of contest there are. I went on one of the websites given as an option for contest and found the Viewbug.com website. I looked over the different contests and categories.

I decided to participate in the Soft Photo contest because I had images that could be relatable to that. These are the images I submitted.

I took this photo at my friend’s apartment. Her roommate had a small plant and I thought it would be nice to capture a macro photo with a water drop. I took this picture at the beginning of the semester while working on the Macro and Close Up projects. After that, I realized my favorite part of photography is to capture the details.
