I've been a little bored lately, so I decided to make a ringlight/flash for my camera. When you use the flash on your camera, it sometimes (most of the time) gives you that harsh flash look to your pictures with a pretty bad shadow. Well a ringflash softens the light a bit and gets rid of the shadow for the most part. You can buy a ringflash that fits over your speedlight for a couple hundred bucks or so, but my version cost less than a couple bucks. I used some cardboard, aluminum foil on the inside to reflect the light around, a piece of white garbage bag to diffuse the light when it comes out, and lots.... LOTS of tape.Here's a shot with just the flash....
...and here's one with my contraption attached.... gives a little better light on her I think (even though the photo itself is a little blurry, chalk to that up to operator error)
Anyways, nothing really spectacular, just thought it was cool and something to share.
