Andre 9 Posted March 27, 2010 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre 9 Posted March 28, 2010 @digitaljames 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badldragon 4 Posted March 28, 2010 @digitaljames Nice photo there man. Little update on the ringflash Inner side of the inner part has been painted matte (sort of) black 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
