How to take a picture of a ring with a Canon Rebel XTI?
I have a Canon Eos Rebel XTI DSLR camera which I cannot get to take a picture of a diamond ring. The camera is equipped with the autofocus feature which I have switched to manual along with my lense however it refuses to let me take a shot of the ring. It takes other pictures just fine. I have tried to look in the owners manual but to no avail. Can anyone help me out. I need detailed instructions on what to set my camera to. Is it a setting problem or is my camera broken?
You really need a macro lens or at least “macro filters” that screw on the front of your lens. The thing is, you lens has an 11.4″ limit to the close focus distance and you are are trying to take a picture too close. You MIGHT make out staying 12″ away, using the 55 mm setting, and then cropping the picture to get the final size you want. Maybe. You do have 10 MP to play with, after all.
I am using a Nikon 60 mm Macro lens, which translates into about 90 mm in “35 mm equivalent.” This gives plenty of working distance. This lens gives you a true macro 1:1 reproduction. Canon makes an equivalent lens.
I use the built-in pop-up flash rather than a $400-600 marco lighting set-up. It’s free. “Simple and effective.”
Set the camera in Aperture priority and choose f:11, f:16 or so, depending on personal preference. Set the EV at -0.7 stops. Perhaps you would like a different EV setting, but this is what works for me. After that, in autofocus, it’s a point and shoot with wonderful results.
Here are two samples taken exactly this way:
