Playing with my ringflash...

I think my cousin would be disappointed if I didn't post some shots! So Starky these are for you! :D

My equipment, a half broken, and very dirty as you can see Canon 30D, with a 50mm 1.8.

This last shot, I had the ringflash on the side, with a moon unit, so basically it was used as a softbox.

Hope you enjoy! I did very little PP, mostly just a little saturation, black level and exposure.

I think I should start posting more.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! These were just a test, it seems the conversion from raw to JPG has lifted the brightness quite a bit, but ohh well.

Thanks for the compliments!

How could I possibly be disappointed in my family? :mrgreen:


I like all of these, but for me, #s 2 and 4 are particular standouts. You're doing well with the lighting here, and that, after all, is what it's all about.

Zacky,

Number #4 is quite good!

On a different note, I hear the moderator is a bit of a curmudgeon about not having your "location" set in your profile.... I'd hate to see you get your knuckles rapped! :nono:

Keep up the posts!
:cheers:

Very effective use of the ringflash, the pose in #4 works best for me and the highlights in the eyes for #1 looks surreal. Not sure if the background in #3 is supposed to show towards the left, could possibly clone it out
