Engagament Ring Photo Challenge

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Now, I know many people have posted their engagement rings in the planning journals and what not... but they always seem to take shots with their rings on their hands. While nice and all, I recently saw an online tutorial from Weddingbee.com (a wedding blog I frequent) made by a professional photographer. In it, she describes how to take awesome ring pictures (using different backgrounds, etc), without the blurriness!

Now... I would love to do this myself, but I am not engaged! So, I am asking you girls to indulge me (hopefully). The tutorial can be found here:

And some sample pictures to hopefully get the creative juices flowing:

And look, a Disney one :

All photos were taken from Weddingbee.com.

So, if you feel inspired, hopefully you will share the awesome shots you take of your rings and post them here! And I promise, I will contribute once I get one!

Here are mine..I have posted them in my TR..but will again:

This is one I did when we came home...not a great shot as I was experimenting with my new SLR

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Hmm, and I could have sworn I read your TR! Maybe I just forgot those pics, but awesome ones anyway!

But you must agree, most are just hand pics.

I guess I should add, these should be photos YOU take, not your photographer. Be good like Betsy!

Thanks!

I took a bunch when I came home because I didn't have a normal photographer on the ship..here is another..hahah

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Excellent shot! What type of camera do you have?

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Sony A200..I love it and we got it as an open box, so it was very cheap

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Jealous, I have to wait until I get closer to graduating to get an awesome camera. Brother is buying! So nice! Hehe. I keep bugging him to make it an early gift though!

Let it be said I don't have an artistic bone in my bod. With that caveat I present Meg's Ring.

Now ignore the tape I used to hold it up! LOL!

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Awww, that is a really cute set up! Love that you found a blue background. Nice job!

Oh, and what tape?

 

[MegKate]

I repurposed my Yoga mat. I tried - I get credit right? LOL

I took this in a cafe a couple of weeks ago... Doesn't really show off my ring too well though!

The below pic is just to show y'all what it actually looks like!

Wow! That was sooo much fun! Thanks so much for posting that link! I got a little carried away.... here are my shots! (by the way... for my camera, I found that I didnt like using the "macro setting" )

Here is the matching necklace that he gave me to "throw me off" when he proposed.

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Those are some awesome shots! I loooooove the starfish! Nice job!

And look, now you all have some pics to scrapbook with or something!

 

[LeesyUD]

Love the starfish - that looks great!! Really shows off the ring!!

Although not just a picture of the ring, this is how it was presented to me when DF proposed. Will work on getting better pictures when we have our wedding bands.


Nevermind. I thought I could get it to resize so the picture isn't huge and its just not working for me.
