Artist's Comments

My first experimental photo from the use of my ring flash.

See before and after: [link]
____________________________________

I started making my DIY ringflash when 'Everybody loves Raymond' started yesterday afternoon and ended up finishing it as the football ended late last night. Very fiddly project I got myself into...but I think it paid off in the end. I'll just evolve the design and make it less bulky the next time I make one.

Idea taken from: flickr.com/photos/24737461@N04/sets/72157604445937609/

I can't believe that I couldn't find any reflective tape at any Hardware store yesterday! Would have made it a lot easier to make.

Haha - I like how normally, one would use a ring flash to make a soft, pretty, no shadow portrait - and you've made a scary, shadowy image - cool!

Thanks...I was feeling pretty disturbed when I edited this pic ;P Check out the before and after link in the comments to see that soft, no shadow portrait :)

Yeah, I had done - it works well.

Any hot spots? How many stops do you think it dropped?
*Kazma56:iconKazma56: Jun 30, 2008, 12:31:22 AM
oh geez...it prob reduces the flash by about 4 stops...but that would be the material i was using over the flash (old pillow case); other materials would have different reduction in light obviously.

No real hot sports...only thing is that the ring isnt a purfect ring...you can see it in some reflections in the eyes...oh well, not bad for my first attempt :P

Actually, not bad at all - Had a look at that shot of Jaz - it seems a little darker on one side (in the reflection from the eyes), but the overall effect is quite pleasing - heaps better than bare on camera flash, naturally.

Pretty awesome. The light fall-off is great. Isolates just the right details.
