"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
In Less than a month's time I will embark on a epic quest that I pray will last till the day I die. Unlike Frodo in Tolkien's book I will make this decision to wear my ring willingly, and it will be by no means a burden.
To some of my more inept readers: it means i'm getting married. The lucky lady is Krystal G. Moodie (check out her blog via the link).
We needed to take some shots of our rings for our wedding book/album/website. The experiment proved challenging as polished tungsten carbide acts like a mirror. Unlike the images you see in catalogs I wanted to leave the images of the rings untouched by the clone tool. Comment on the images below.
All of the above images were taken with one (1) light and a few reflectors to catch highlights. The rings are Tungsten Carbide from Titanium Jewelry..
