One from a wedding last weekend. Congratulations to Udy and Uche for a glamorous wedding celebration. I love taking these details at wedding especially with the brides shoes and rings, they take sometime to setup but it is definately worth it. This shot is quite straight forward, got the rings from groom placed them on the ring box, exposed properly, lit it to get some nice highlights and shadows and viola! it is a done deal. But some may say you go thru all these for a ring shot? the answer is yes. Such shots are very good for the final album presentation and maybe thats why I charge so much :) But honestly compared to the work especially for African weddings, I am very cheap, I may be retiring from such weddings soon :) :)
Back to the shot, hope you like and if you don't oh well :)

I love it and I'm think a shot like this would be a great way to round out the typical wedding images. It's a beauty.
A nicely executed product shot. I like the tonal range!
A quality shot indeed
Anyone would LOVE the time you took to set this up, Dotun! It's a beauty. Too bad if you have to "retire" from wedding photography!
Nice!
Liking it.
GORGEUOS!
I really like the detail you've captured.
Well worth the time. Beautiful.
Fabulous, quality photograph. `Brilliant`, in fact. (:o)
Lovely one Dotun Well executed.
What details! So sharp! This is a perfect black and white shot!
The detail in this shot is spot on. You can even see the scratches around the band of the engagement ring. Makes me think of the MasterCard commercial:
Engagement ring - $5000 Two maching wedding bands - $2500 Time invested to set and capture this shot? - Priceless.
nice shot! i wonder how it looks in color.
are they scared to give you the rings? especially from your people...that you're retiring from (you better not! they need you).
A nicely executed macro shot. I like the tonal range!
Dotun c this is why i need to get me a 100mm macro. Well done oga mi
Sorry I have just noticed what you said bout african weddings, my sentiments exactly but I'm not retiring from it anytime soon though. am showing love to ma peeps (thats my excuse)
Simply beautiful!
U cant retire, if u retire, i retire... Lovely shoot, i see you on the ring with a white shoe...lovely shot
This is beautiful I like it. You made the rings look vibrant and the black and white brings out the textures.
At f8 and still I see a nice DOF. Well done!
I just like the composition. Very nice.
I love the clarity of this. Beautiful.
lovely detail and interesting composition
Mehn Ddot if the chick had any doubt about the clarity of the rock he gave her, you have just put it to rest... he should thank you specially for this one...
Well done Dotun. Trust you to come with the fire detail shots.
This is a lovely shot, and a unique addition to a wedding album. Your customers must be beside themselves with pleasure when they receive their captured memories
Simply beautiful! I was at the wedding that day! You guys did a great job! Can't wait to see all of the pics!

You can see some scratches on the engagement ring, possibly suggesting the time between the engagement and the wedding itself. Well done, great shot and excellent details.
