Today we'll be running around thither and yon, so I was worried about getting today's entry while we were on the run. As I was putting on my birthstone ring (aquamarine, March), it dawned on me to put it on a piece of bubble wrap and see what I could get at different settings. Then I did some selective color adjusting, sharpening and finally removing some noise. Taken with my Canon XTi and a macro lens.
