Hi all, Can someone direct me to a thread that focuses on how to take good pics of a ring with a digital camera. I have read a few that say to set the camera to Macro (flower symbol). I tried this last nite, but it doesnt seem to do anything...still really blurry! I must be missing something...  Any suggestions for the newbie picture taker? Thanks!

On many cameras, even if you are in macro mode, you can not be too close to the subject or it will always be blurry. Try holding the camera a little further back. Depending on the quality of your camera, it might be difficult to get a closeup picture of your ring without taking it through a loupe/magnifying glass of some sort. I have a decent Fuji camera and the macro mode is pretty good for most applications, but rings are such small objects that it's still very difficult for me to get a clear pic. Good luck!

Check out ebay's community board to photos. Helped me a lot. I needed to get a better camera with a closer macro range - Nikon coolpix 3100 is great. Then take off the flash, set to micro, and use diffused lighting (like through a milk carton). Check out http://www.deadzoom.com/member/nktower/tutorials/Photographing_Small_Objects.html Tanya |

On automatic cameras, if there is not enough light, the the shutter will stay open so long, in order to let enough light into the camera, that your hands will shake the camera to a degree that will make the picture seem out of focus. The problem may not be focal length (fixed be moving the distance between the camera and the ring) but rather, steadiness. That is fixed by bracing the camera against something - preferable some kind of tripod - so the camera does not move while the shutter is open.
