Home-made ring flash adapter made of styropore, cardboard, duck tape and 1 mirror (the most expensive part).
After purchasing the Neewer Macro Ring Flash and .45x Adapter I decided to throw them on my 18mm kit lens together to see what would happen. It drops the zoom down to 8.1mm allowing the lens to pick up the actual walls of the Macro Flash Ring... pretty sweet. :)
Expect to see some awesome bug photos this summer! Yay!
Macro photo as a test photo with the DIY ringflash (see the DIY ringflash workflow also).
It is the bottom side of an old 486 processor with the core cover plate removed. The area in the photo is about 17mm wide and 23mm high (I cropped the surroundings away).
Nikon D2H + Nikon PK-13 27.5mm extension + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D @ f/8.0
The lens focal lenght and aperture are wrong in the EXIF information because I forgot to change the Non CPU lens data values to be 50mm and 1.8 (last time I used the AI 28mm f/2.8 so it had its values).
Nikon SB-600 on the ringflash in iTTL mode, attached to the camera with the DIY TTL flash cord. Some cropping and small adjustments in Photoshop.

It was created more to demonstrate that due to the flexibility of fiberstrobe, you can achieve any kind of lighting with it. 4 quarter ring adapters were added to the fiberstrobe to mimick the effect of a ringflash.
Strobist info: The flash was triggered using the wirelesh compatibility of minolta-sony. (KM7 was used for this picture)

Well, I finally just bit the bullet and bought myself the ring flash. I've been eye-ing it, so I figured I'd just go ahead and get it. It comes with 4 rings: red, blue, yellow, and muted white. It also comes with at least a dozen colored gels that slide in front of each individual bulb, for a multicolored shot :) It's really fun to play with and I can't wait to see the results.

My DIY ringflash made of an old ring cake pan. This is a rough mock up and still a work in progress, the finished product will have a much better looking attachment point as well as a polished inside of the ring to hopefully be more reflective (my initial shots show that the flash power dies off a lot at the top). I'm trying to base my project on the Orbis ringflash since it seems to be a pretty nice one (that I'd love to have if it weren't $200). I also plan on making a bracket to attach to the camera or an umbrella stand.
D700, 50mm f/1.4G wide open, iso 500.
Outer ring cut from a strainer. Inner ring cut from a cereal bowl. Both coupled together with roughly 2.5 in. of PVC. Aluminum foil plastered to the inside, glue and duct tape hold it all together. A rectangular hole was cut in the bottom for a Vivitar 283, it's a nice little friction fit.
125/365 More ringflash loveliness together with my Holga. Took me a while to set up, only because I wanted a white(ish) background and had to fashion one out of some wrapping paper - I have ingenuity you see. Argh I LOVE the catchlights you get with ringflashes!
Taken at ISO 100 and f/11, in retrospect I think I'd have tweaked that a bit, but too late now :)

Test pics:
v 1.0 is a foam core back panel, corrugated cardboard sides & core, duct tape, acrylic face, packing material diffuser, velcro and silver mylar reflector inside, 12 1/4" dia. x 2" deep.
v 2.0 is a foam core manifold, take out container, margarine container core, duct tape, packing material diffuser, velcro and silver mylar reflector inside. 7 5/8" dia. x 2" deep.
Both of these work well for what they are. Most of the materials we're already available in my garage. Each took about 4.5 hours to make. When making one of these things, take your time, measure twice and cut once.
first in the series of dreams. ive asked members of my university to send in a vivid description of a dream they have had recently. and i will 'attempt' to recreate each dream. this is an example of the style i am looking for.
The above image was captured during a Welshot Imaging Chester Academy Evening. The theme this month was all about “Vintage and Valentines – Off Camera Flash Photography”.
For more information about Welshot Imaging see their site:
I bought 2 circular paper-mache boxes at the craft store (one big, one small), along with the template-plastic (it's in the quilting section).
I had the white & silver duct-tape on-hand at home.
so it cost me less than $10 (not including the tape).
the REAL one i want to buy is $200.
I WAS NOT GOING FOR AESTHETICS (obviously), this is purely for function. there is a DIY group here on Flickr that posts much prettier ones! :c )
This took me a few hours!
The above image was taken during a Welshot Imaging promo day in Liverpool in support of their new Liverpool Academy Evenings starting in April. For more information about Welshot including details of their Snapshot Day on the 15th April 2012 see their website:
It was a very bright day in Liverpool and to be honest, too bright to do any anything in direct sunlight and use a flash but I was keen to try out an Orbis Ring flash I had recently aquired. I wasn't sure how usefull this kind of setup would be during the day but it really did seem to work well (if only to create the amazing spot catchlight in the models eyes).
For more information about the Orbis ringflash:
The Model during the day was Carla Monaco:

just a quick go with my new "Ringflash." I attended the Photography show today at the NEC. So much to see and so much to learn! This week I am going to see if I cant put my speedlight to good use. You tube, google and a few hundred copies of practical photography should come in handy ;)
A home made ring flash. Made in 10mins out of a cardboard box, kitchen foil and a black card.
see notes.
lighting: "studio setup" in the background with a Canon 430EX (courtesy of York PhotoSoc) and a Vivitar 285hv (that's the one that would be attached to the ring flash)
Got a little too close on this one so it is a touch hot.
