Loving my Olloclip (macro photos of rubybeth's collection)

[rubybeth]

I just got an Olloclip 4 in 1 lens for my iPhone 5s and took a bunch of jewelry photos. Loving this little thing! If you want details on any piece, let me know. The only new piece is the engraved band (Belais 18k white gold orange blossom engraving).

Still learning, so may try again later. Please excuse fingerprints and water drops. [emoji4] I gave everything an ultrasonic bath yesterday.

Beautiful pieces, and I love the new band!!! It is really in excellent condition! I need to get an olloclip one of these days. It really does help take nice macro shots!

Just one more for now. Weather has been crazy today but I think outdoor shots result in better lighting. This band is amazingly perfect, so glad I scooped it up. [emoji7] I like adding the vintage to my otherwise modern/classic stack.

I thought some perspective shots with real life sizes might be helpful, so here are my bands (size 5.25) on my left hand and my 5 stone OEC band of .20 stones (about 1.10 ctw) on my right (size 5.75) plus my 1 ctw studs in BGD bezel settings (diamonds are not BGD but are very nice and sparkly enough for my ears).

LOVELY collection! I especially like the way you've stacked your rings.

Re: Loving my Olloclip (macro photos of rubybeth's collectio

Thank you everyone for you kind words and compliments on both my photos and my collection. [emoji4] ame, after seeing some Olloclip shots on Instagram, I remembered you have one--SO fun! I'd love to see your collection like this.

I quickly realized today that ceaning my spinel emerald is a pain and I still don't think I removed every last speck! But I got this ring with the help of the Colored Stone forum for my grad school graduation so it's a special piece even if I don't wear it much lately.

And for all you ring stack fans out there, I call this one, "No really, I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want to... But I don't want to!" [emoji7][emoji39][emoji6]

And more 5 stone love. My husband actually added flowers to our shared shopping list so I wouldn't forget to buy some to take photos like this. [emoji7]

Thanks for sharing all of your great photos! I especially love your bezel band! Could you share some more info on it?

Thank you! I have two bezel bands, but the one you are probably seeing in most of the photos is the one in my avatar, the Whiteflash Danielle Jazz bezel band, which is a 3/4 eternity. Mine is 18k white gold. My other bezel band has alternating diamonds and yellow sapphires and milgrain around the bezels--it was a Preloved find a few years ago and doesn't get much wear since I usually just wear my plain 2mm wedding band and the Danielle band.

Nice photos! Do you find it easy to use?

Re: Loving my Olloclip (macro photos of rubybeth's collectio

Nice photos! Do you find it easy to use?

I do, it's very simple, just a set of lenses that slides over the corner of your phone and works with the camera lens. I've just been using the regular camera app on my phone, but I'm sure you could get more advanced with a different camera app. It uses the camera's auto focus feature, the only issue I have is staying still enough for the macro lenses, but setting things on something stationary and then using two hands or leaning the phone against something stationary helps a lot to stabilize.

The only thing I don't like is that I had to take off my phone case in order to use it, and my phone case protected my phone from many bumps and falls. I'm being a lot more careful, and am thinking about getting the Olloclip case that allows for easier removal of the top portion of the case that covers the camera, or just a case that's easier to take on and off. I suspect the novelty will wear off eventually, too!

Nope, it doesn't!
