I am so excited about the final jewel in my photography equipment arsenal!The newest member of the family is the Canon 100 mm f/2.8 Macro lens! ….also some exciting personal news!

If you ever see A-mazing ring shots and you wonder how the photographer got so close that you can see every sparkle in the diamond, chances are very high that he or she used a macro lens. A macro lens can focus on an object much closer than other lenses.

Anyways, for years I have made it just fine with my Canon 50 mm 1.2 for ring shots, but I knew to up my ring shot game I would have to invest in the macro. Today was the first time I took this jewel out of the box and it was love at first sight.

Here are some shots of my ring with the new lens. Also the passport because….WE ARE GOING TO EUROPE!

Natraj promised in his vows that we would have lots of stamps in our passports and he wasn’t kidding. This is the year of travel, culminating with Christmas in Paris and Rome!  My man knows how to speak my love language!
