The Ring!

Now that I've shared my engagement story, it's time to see the bling! I've been engaged for over two years and never really taken pictures of my ring. I know nothing about photography and didn't know how to photograph it without it looking like a huge white blur, until Mrs. Avocado and Anne Ruthmann's tutorials came along! And I kind of cheated, I had a friend who had already taken some beautiful ring shots of her own come over and help me! We didn't use a tripod or any special equipment, just a pashmina and my roommate's desk lamp! Someday Mr. Kitten and I want to buy a real camera, but here is what I came up with using my handy digital camera!


As you can see, we used a random assortment of household products as props--candy, straws, a cork, and a tea tin just to name a few.

Have you taken ring shots yet? What kind of props did you use?
