My better half inherited this ring, she wants to sell it, and I need to take some good images of it.
D3200 and a 18-55mm 1:35-5.6G, SB400, Neewer ring light, and two 150w flourescents with umbrellas.
After 3 hours trying to get a decent pic of this thing, this is best I could do.
I tried less light more exposure and visa versa, I just cant find a place where the ring is actually well lit and focused so you
can actually see it.
The platinum and diamonds reflect light so strangely that I cannot get the camera to focus on it.
I thought a wider aperture and less light might work but to no avail.
I have begun to think that maybe I am just asking this lens to do something it can't but I would definitely lean toward I don't know what in the hell I'm doing first...
Please help!
