I, like everyone else followed suit after reading Anne Ruthmann’s post about taking shots of your ring. In the beginning I must admit I was guilty of the outstretched hand shot, which of course turned out quite bogus. After reading her post though, you can’t stop me. I have a little Canon Elph point and shoot and the pictures turned out pretty good in my opinion. I don’t know what I’ll do with them yet, but they’re too nice to not use.
A few notes that made it easier for me:
- Find random objects to sit your ring on
- I like food so I started with fruit
- I used a piece of white paper as my backdrop
- Don’t use the zoom feature but scoot in as close as you can
- Play with lighting – I used a flashlight for some shadows
I had a difficult time focusing some of them where I wanted, but I think that’s something I can work on. Without further ado, a few of my favorite ring pictures:

Too cool! I love the heart-shape! I am going to have to steal your ideas & try this out myself. I have a few of the “my hand my camera” shots that looks weird.

I love them. LOVE them! Especially the Detroit one and the book! I took some pics of mine before the New Year and they came out bogus! I am inspired to try again!
