ok the me "lighting everything on earth cuz I happen to shoot basketball strobbed" jokes are getting old :(

not just basketball :whistle:

Not gunna lie, the thought of trying to strobe the pitcher or 1st/3rd base popped into my head as an idea to try something cool :p

Talking about flashes. Me and a friend are making a ringflash. So far it looks like this:

The basic construction

With Sigma 180 inside it for size comparison.

It took a while to create a hole since the bowl is not made of metal that is easily cut. So a heavy machinery was required.

We are still missing the essential part however, material for the diffuser. I guess we will have to try it with a piece of cloth until we find something more solid.

In the end it should look something like this (this is made by someone else)

[crazzy88ss]

looks good!

baseball coming soon.

I saw this somewhere, too. Bookmarked it with good intentions but so far no progress lol.

Nice photo there man.

Little update on the ringflash

Inner side of the inner part has been painted matte (sort of) black

Holes (8) for mounting the diffuser. The basic and the easiest solution for holding the diffuser is using tie-wraps. However we are thinking of maybe using snap buttons in some way.

Hole for the flash. It will have soft material around the edges for flash protection and filling the gaps.

Andre that looks beautifully ghetto. Can't wait to see how it pans out :)

wont that reduce the power in operation as the flash is effectively "bouncing" around in the ring and then out? Surely silve or white would be better, no?

Thank you Andre.... :D

nvm, it was the crummy school computer I was on. It looks a lot better now that I'm on my computer at home.

Should have used 2 flashes at least. xD

I dunno if that would have been enough!
