Rings


There are many ways to photograph rings. A very classic way is shown here.

The rings are placed inside the bride's bouquet and then photographed with a "Macro" lens (Nikon calls it a "Micro" lens). The selective focus in this particular shot is right on the diamond engagement ring. Because of the shallow depth of field (DOF) view, the wedding bands are slightly "soft" in focus.

An alternative to this method of shooting rings is to allow the groom to simply "hold" the rings in his hand. This is a lot faster way to shoot and it can be done without a macro lens as well. It's a little more informal, but it works.
