Default Don't buy a ring flash, make your own !
Hi folks !

I love the ring flash style, but, hey, I really can't afford to buy one, and the stuffs like ring flash adapters are still expensive and not really efficient. I mean, to have a full ring flash effect with that kind of products you'll still have to use photoshop. So why spending your bucks in that?

Nah, trust me, you can easily make your own ! I know what i'm talking about, I made mine !

Here's a little how to with pics I posted on my deviantart

Enjoy

To see the results, just go to my deviantart web page, you'll find links.

no no, this is not a beauty dish, because, as far as i know, you don't put your lense throught the dish.
The light that cames from my ring flash, when you use it as a ring flash (lense thru it) is really a typical ring flash light... is that clear? xD
