Wooden wedding rings. B&b ring of kerry. Celtic ring meaning.
i am learning macro photography..
picked up the 100 2.8 L with I.S. to help me do the job better since i was fighting with the 85L for ring shots..
this new lens should help out and do things fast for me..
this was the first time using it and i think it is a huge learning curve !..
macro is totally different than people portraits.. and the Fstops are totally different.. i have to learn the ratio differences..
for people full body i like to be at 2.0 on the 85L..
but for objects that are small.. i think i need to be around 5.6 or higher to get everything in focus..
lighting was a single 580 triggered by a cactus trigger with a white card on the camera right to bounce the light back to the rings..
rings were on a wooden floor with small dust particles that made the sweet bokeh..

This couple who has a deep love of trees had wooden wedding rings. So beautiful and unique.
I set the rings on a leaf of a fig tree that they had placed in the background at the ceremony and will be planting at their home.
