For my birthday I got an Orbis ring flash attachment
This was the first shot I took using it... well, first after just trying out a few quick snaps to see how I needed to hold it to make it fire. You can clearly see the rings reflected in the drops.
And just another one that I happened to like.
It makes lighting macro shots much nicer... not necessarily easier yet, but the lighting is much nicer and much more even. I'm really looking forward to trying this out on other subjects and portraits. Should be fun when I learn how to use it better.
