Thank you so much Katelyn for those 3 tips! I really needed this. I do struggle with ring shots so much that lately I didn't even look forward to photographing this detail!! This was so helpful. I will put it into practice straight away!!
I'm so glad it was helpful for you!
I am drooling over your ring shot! This video is immensely helpful! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Katelyn! It was because of you that I started getting into weddings four years ago, and I'm still learning now. =) So thank you once again for being such an incredible inspiration.
You are so welcome!!
@@KatelynJames How do you set up the ring so that it is well light? Will you ask them to put it outside somewhere on a table? or by a window?
Thank you.....great advise!
You're good at creating mnemonic devices for easy reference on a wedding day. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
I was going to say that! She's got the natural teacher flair for finding great, easy ways to remember things!!!
I love this women God bless ur talents. 🙌🏼 and bless everything u touch like Joseph.
Thanks for watching!
Love the video. I would love to see a video more about how to position the programs for the weddings.
Great idea!
nice tips kate thanks its a big help.
Glad it was helpful!
Great information ❤️ subscribed
Awesome! Thank you!
EXCELLENT info.
Glad you think so!
Thanks 🙏🏼 is very good your photos.
Thank you too!
Your tips are so much more helpful compared to other photographers. Right now I am using a t7, the crop sensor is now driving me crazy and I am ready to upgrade. I am struggling with a lot on knowing what camera I should be getting next. Betweenness a r6, rp or just go for the 5dmark iv. Ugh lol i have so many questions lol
We think mirrorless is the future!! I would look there over the Mark IV
Good tips here katelyn. The most common mistake photogs make with ring shots is shooting wide open at 2.8. There is so little dof at that macro distance that there becomes no practical or aesthetic advantage to shooting at 2.8 instead of even f4 to f8 even. Especially with how virtually any current camera model handles higher ISO’s. I would even suggest using manual focus now with so many cameras equipped with live view and focus peaking.
Great points Jason!
The third person reference like katelyn does !
Hi Katelyn, great tutorial! So In regards to detail shots, is there anyway you can make a video with standard detail shots from wedding dresses to shoes for both bride and groom etc? There are plenty materials on it but, I like your style of breaking things down better!
We are releasing a Bridal Details Mini Course in the coming months!!
Thanks for the tutorial! Have you ever tried focus stacking in Lightroom? I haven’t tried it yet, but seems like it might be a great feature for these types of shots.
I have never tried it. But I will look into it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Welcome
Thanks. That was great. I think the biggest difference with your "preferred" shots and the one "not-great" red-background shot showed in the e-mail is the dreamy hi-key backgrounds that you show. Part of the dreamy-ness has to do with the color. Also, don't the plane and position dictate each other? Once I choose a plane, doesn't that indicate where the camera sensor needs to be - either in line with that plane or at an angle to it? Just thoughts - from a philosophy student turned photographer.
Great points!
Hi, Katelyn
What aperture (f stop) Do you use?
Thanks!!!!
Hello, I been asked to take pictures of the wedding rings next Saturday. Currently I do not have a macro lens. I may be able to rent one in the next day or two. I have a Canon 50mm f/1.4 and a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens. I also have a Sigma 70-200mm that I been told I can use. Would I been able to use a filter on my lens. What would be my best course of action to use. Limited money to go out and buy a lens. My camera store has a used one for $450. Is it worth purchasing for a couple of shots if the rings?
So random but it amuses me that Morgan looks more like you than Emmy does! (At least to me)
Oh we hear that all the time!!
Hey Katelyn, I noticed in one of the male rings, your reflection was in the ring. Is that a common issue when shooting so closely?
Yes if it a non brushed finish.
@@KatelynJames thankyou for your response! Is there any way to avoid that from happening?
Any tips for photographers without a macro lens?
Rent one for weddings! You really need it for details shots!
@@KatelynJames Thank you!
does close up filters worked?
I have always used the macro!
With mirrorless I set my camera to a two second delay and use the electric shutter.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, what is a prong?😊
How do I prevent getting my reflection in a wedding band?
What if the wedding band has no prongs?
Focus on the side closest to you!
You Americans have really big engagement rings!
Millimetres you mean.
Thanks for watching!
@@KatelynJames really enjoying your videos. I’ve just sent your 28-70 RF video to my canon friend and he’s ready to go and get one tomorrow off the back of your video
