- 10 Tips for Photographing Wedding Rings without a dedicated macro lens. In this video, I share how to photograph wedding rings including lenses, lighting, camera settings, focus tips, and how to add creativity and personality to the shot. I show how to use the Fujifilm MCEX-16 macro extension tube to transform any portrait lens into the perfect macro lens for photographing wedding rings. If you're a Fujifilm wedding photographer, or just looking to up your wedding detail game, this video is for you!

Thank you!
Should I make a tutorial on how I photograph Lego minifigures?
Definitely
Absolutely! You’re amazing.
What part of the process are you most interested to learn?
@@Reggiebphoto how do you select your scene to place the figures and the lighting? You’re much more creative than I am. As a kid I had Polly Pockets and I just found some of them and I wanted to take pics of them for nostalgia.
Great question!
Love your videos Reggie... Great work as always!!
Thanks Ernesto!
This was very clear and informative. Thanks for sharing!
What did you find most useful?
Excellent tips in this video. Beautiful presentation and very helpful suggestions.
Thank you for this. Soooo much.
Thanks, this was awesome!
WhAt did you like about this video?
Thanks for this helpful video!
What aspect did you find most helpful?
Great vid bro. Alot of awesome too and tricks
Nice! Honestly I didn’t know if this vid would be useful lol
Wait, those are some really great tips! Love the camera harness 😉
🙌🏽
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips Reggie. Always learn something from your content.
Thanks Joe. What did you like best about this one?
@@Reggiebphoto The lighting and positioning was helpful for me. My wife wants me to take some pictures of our rings and I know I would have approached it differently. I do have an inexpensive macro lens and will be using that. Thanks again!
Nice! Yes lighting is key for product photos
Haha crazy, i just bought one of these used and now this video pops up!
Keep up the good work reggie! 👊🏻
Now you have an excuse to use it. What are you going tk shoot?
@@Reggiebphoto I’m shooting my first wedding in june, So definitely ring shots! and i’ll be bringing it on hikes, i think. I love shooting textures for double exposures and my girlfriend would like to be able to shoot insects from closer up. I couldn’t justify buying a true macro lens. So this seems like a nice way to open up new possibilities without breaking the bank. Thanks again for the effort you put into making these video’s. I picked up a lot of very useful information from your channel. 🙏🏻
Thanks for the feedback!
Solid tips!
Thanks Gajan! You ever try the tubes?
@@Reggiebphoto Yep, I sold my 80 macro and went full Tube lol. No regrets, it's not needed unless that's all you do.
Yup, the only way bro.
Awesome. Keep it up.
What do you want to learn next?
thank you :)
Great video! I use and carry the Viltrox brand tube and can say it works great. Feels cheap, not as rugged as Fuji brand tube...but It's handled two wedding seasons so far.
P.S. looking fly in those glasses!
Great tutorial!
Thanks Ted! How’s it going?!
@@Reggiebphoto I'm traveling to a wedding in Chicago this weekend, any thing I can do to make it easy for the wedding photographer there? ;)
Just enjoy yourself and stay out of the way haha
cell phone also works as an ad hoc reflective surface and has the advantage of being able to provide additional light or surface color as well.
yup, this definitely works as well
I agree a macro isn't needed. But that xf80mm is sooooo good and definitely worth owning.
If you can stomach the size then definitely, for me it’s not something I want to bring for just 1-2 shots
Just want i wanted Reggie, im for sure going to do this with my weddings.
Sweet! Let me know how it goes.
I literally just bought one of these tubes couldn’t have come at a better time 😂
Nice! What are you going to shoot?
@@Reggiebphoto I needed it for some close up product shots for a fashion shoot. The client has these pants with a bunch of custom hardware and small buttons that need to be showcased. I’m definitely taking notes from this video!
Nice!
Hello, I want to take various jewelry photos and should I use mcex 11 or mce16? Thank you!
Came for ring photography, but clicked like right away after seeing the legos shots 😆
Sweet!
Have you tried the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro ?
I suggest trying those cheap Chinese macro lenses . They are worth buying.
Why are they worth more than using an extension tube?
@@Reggiebphoto they are cheap from 100$ and are fairly sharp , provides true macro magnification. (7 artisensts)
I've done quite a lot of macro photography in my career, and cleaning my object with alcohol and a piece of cotton, with finishing touch with a lens blower, saved me a LOT of working time in photoshop. Just saying...
👍🏽
Will Mcex 16 work with viltrox 56 , 23 mm ?
yes, i believe it does
I hope I have my own camera so I can practice what I watch with you sir. but I'm just a student
10.1 - Try to clean as much of the dust before you take the shot using a lens cloth and a blower. The less dust you need to clone out in PS, the better!
Even better tip’
This was cool, but can you teach me to take pictures of those lego people? haha
Lol, sure!
Rings on Cheetos… Brilliant..!!!😎😎😎
Haha, genius or silly. One of the two definitely
can you stack extention tubes?
Yup
@@Reggiebphoto I've been looking for videos about it but can't find any. Just purchased two of these ext tubes and will give it a go. Thanks :)
Can i use viltrox lens?
