Adam doesn't like to have fun...

For years I've been interested in the results from a ringlight. These have traditionally been designed with a flashtube (sometimes several tubes) that completely surrounded the lens of a camera. They used to be hellishly expensive, well over a thousand bucks. OK if you're a fashion shooter and will use it enough and and write it off. When I was a kid I worked for a small mom and pop photo studio. The boss was always cobbling up some kind of workaround to avoid actually having to buy a new piece of equipment. It used to piss me off. How wise he was...

This is from a combination of ringflash designs I found on the web. It's cheap and easy.

The reflector is a 12 inch stainless steel bowl from Meijer, on sale for $3. The bowl's interior is almost mirror-shiny, so I scuffed it up with very fine grit sandpaper.

A 31oz can of fat-free refried beans for $1.39 provided the center tube for the lens. Contact cement went on the outside of the can to hold aluminum foil. The can is epoxied to the bowl.

The light source is an elderly Vivitar 283 with the shoe busted off, equipped with the variable power module.

A Dremel rotary tool was used to cut the hole for the can and the flash.

Bought a 65w continuous ring light and had now one to test it out on, so yay new profile picture I guess.

Main: DIY ringlight camera right

Bonus: Umbrella camera left

That's it :)

Rest is in teh exif.

Kicking off a new theme for the next month, and though some 365ers say that archival images don't count, dammit, I call it Post-A-Day, not Shoot-A-Day. All the upcoming shots will be film, images made with my Holga and Diana, the kings of plastic photography. I'm going to be out of the sphere of influence of the internet for a month starting tomorrow, so I've preposted all the shots on my blog, set to self-publish a new one each day. Therefore, my Flickr feed will go dead for awhile. Please visit www.doublelgphotos.squarespace.com to view any new content. Thanks, be back soon!

Just playing around with my DIY-Lighting-Kits ringlight a bit and bothering the cats :-)

I've been trying to get better at taking classic portraits. One of the many great things about being married to the most beautiful woman on earth is that I always have someone to take pictures of.

Here I used my homemade ring light.

gnawed hickory nuts from on top of engine block

Strobist: Ambient window light from camera-left, with an additional highlight area from an SB-24 attached to the "DIY Lighting Kits" Ring Flash (handheld by subject), pointing down from slightly above camera-left.

I'm liking this kind of light in general. This is my attempt at "chasing the light," or using artificial light on the same side the natural light is coming from, to add definition.

So the camera-left side of the face is softly lit by window light, and the DIY ring flash is coming from the same side, but pointing down from slightly above, to give an additional soft highlight area. It looks really natural and "real," and I will try more like this!
