I tried using the white foamboard & flash as described in the first of SquarePeg's resources. I'm not quitting my day job to become a product photographer, but it was worthwhile to experiment with the foamboard and flash.
#1 No flash

#2 With flash

#1 No flash

I like the second one better. When using a camera with a built in flash I always bounce it or diffuse it. Looks like you were very successful at controlling the light to make its impact subtle.

Once I opened each of the images, no flash and flash, in its own tab and went back and forth, I could see just how much the flash improved the shot. Nicely done one who fishes 4 sanity.

Wedding rings,
In the past when Mrs goes into hospital I put her ring on the chain with mine that I have round my neck
Normally I give the ring back when she comes out of hospital.
However this time the kidney failure means her skin is sensitive and itchy so I currently have both rings around my neck.... the way things are that is where they will stay.

They are all pieces my wife has bought and have no significance except the top center " Angel Wing " which she did buy after her Mum passed away. She says they are all from Beverly Hills Elegance, a designer on ShopHQ.

Sort-of metal? But very reflective. Seoul in the golden hour.

Now that this challenge is somewhat in the books, I'm curious if anyone has feedback on the coins image that I shared at the very beginning of this challenge. Specifically when I look at it now I think the composition is off and there's too much foreground. Thoughts?
