The engagement ring that I gave my (former) girlfriend two nights ago, shot with my D700 and 85mm pc-e lens.

Woooo congrats! How exciting! Have you set a date?

I'm assuming you took the photo before you gave it to her, as I can't see any woman taking her engagement ring off
And congratulations. You're about to have a whole lot less time for photography!

Jules, it is exciting - I've been useless all week. (More than usual.) There's no firm date yet, but it'll be in a year or year-and-a-half - it depends on where we want to go on vacation.
RP, you're absolutely right - the photo above was shot around 3am after I got it, and then I took some more photos on Monday when she was at work. But there's no worries about enough time for photography; since I planned the engagement I've told Penny that she gets to plan the wedding. (I'm not sure that'll fly.)
Adam, thanks.

Funny - I thought my buying a Nikon would get the bigger reaction.

Ahaha yeah I was going to ask about the D700 but thought I'd better be politically correct...

Congrats Matthew!
A quick update - matthew - May 9, 2009
Dennis, you're absolutely right. The only odd thing is that I paid for both the camera and the ring... not sure how that works, but they're both worth it.
Don, thanks.
Jules, I think you meant to say "but my wife was nearby."
NT, that's not gonna happen.
Rob, thanks.
