When doing little details of a wedding, nothing but a macro lens will do. Macro lenses allow you to get very close to the subject, and offer a glimpse into a world that few people see. I placed the bride’s ring on top of the groom’s ring, which was on top of the bride’s purse. I got about one inch away and took a series of images using only natural light. I was hand holding these images and an image stabilized camera helped ensure sharpness. Shallow depth of field put the focus on the front of the rings, while everything else goes soft. The optical quality and sharpness of this photo is amazing!
