Rings with Purpose
Close up Macro shot that I took of wedding rings at a recent wedding I photographed for Davis Photography.
Overall I was pretty happy with it, although I think if I were to shoot it again I would have put a candle behind to bring a warmer color to the composition (something I liked a lot about this other macro ring shot I did a few months back) and then kept the shutter open longer so that the shot could have had more of the background light come in to also help warm things up.
Tech Details: Taken with a Canon 20D and 100mm f/2.8 macro lens using remote cable release cord. Camera mounted on a Manfrotto 3021BPRO tripod with 322RC2 ballhead.
Lighting Details: Two Canon 580EX flashes triggered by a Canon ST-E2 wireless transmitter. Both flashes were difused, one with a Gary Fong Lightsphere Cloud that was placed above the rings (maybe two feet above) with the other sitting on it's side off to the left (by about six inches) difused with a STO-FEN OmniBounce.
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.
