Quote: challenging I think but one of my main frustrations is getting things like rings to stand up at the right angle to take the photos. Next thing will try is probably a hot glue gun and just a small spot of glue on the bottom of the ring.
A couple of suggestions for rings:
1. Get some of the foam they use for flower arrangments, cover with cloth and stand ring in there, just like a ring box.
2. There's that tacky stuff credit cards are attached to when you get them in the mail. Craft stores sell this stuff in rolls of dots and in different sizes (I saw some over the internet too)
As to the shots above, they're great but, have you ever tried to shoot a wine glass, specially the tulip style!!! I'm starting to think it IS the lense and I should be using a tele.
