This is one for the people that are into photography!
I’m a bit of a geek, I love my gadgets, love new toys! & This is a pretty fab industry to be in, as so many new gadgets come out, always something new to play with!!
A while ago, I read about a device that fits onto a regular flashgun, and converts it into a ring flash! As soon as I heard about it, I knew I wanted one in my camera bag!! Unfortunately I never managed to get one, always something else higher up the list of things to buy (food etc.!)
I absolutely love the look of ringflash images, I always think of the high-fashion, celebrity portrait photographers! For those not photographically minded, The light is like those cool mirrors, with the lightbulbs around the edge – as the lighting is coming from all edges It’s very even & eliminates all shadows. (flattering, for those with the ‘right’ face
)
Well a few days ago, I random looked on eBay for one & found they were on there! (well, isn’t everything these days?!?) so snapped one up! Utter bargain – when I first heard about them, they were going for around £200 , I got one for just over £50… eBays awesome! Here are a few pictures, save me describing it
It simply fixes onto the front of a regular flash gun, & redirect’s/modifies the light so that it comes out all around the lens! Great for portraits, details & pretty much anything you can imagine… I’ve had a few plays with it so far & I’m hugely impresses… but I’ll no doubt be using it on lots of shoots, so will aim to post a full review!
