Water droplet shot frozen using high speed flash.

Found on my friends estate in Cornwall , shot with 100-400 plus ext tube and sigma ring flash on Canon 40 D while wandering about looking for things to photograph .
And another. Playing around with the ring flash, all very exciting [and heavy] !
Another in between shot. I loved the slightly shocked expression on her face. Taken with the ring flash again, great for framing the head and shoulders.

First shot taken with a colour splash camera and yeelow filter, second taken in a dark bag with a fisheye camera and ring flash
An older shot that I chose whilst cruising through some older contacts. I love the ringflash portraits and really need to do some more at some point. I also used this opportunity to practise some of my new photoshop skills, modifying and enhancing the skin, eyes [whites and iris’s], lips, adding makeup and selective sharpening. Hope you like.
Sorry darling...
Sorry darling, I found someone else. He is plastic and a circle and likes to flash. I think we will be very happy together.

So bringing my new toy home for the first time resulted in lots of random and fairly uninteresting shots. While the guys worried about F stops and technical stuff, I proceeded to poke stupid faces shouting “take one of me! take one of me!!!” This is my now encyclopedic knowledge of taking photos with a ring flash, for your enjoyment, and my embarrassment. / Plucking your eyebrows is a must with a ring flash. In fact, if you have any skin insecurities, probably best to stay on the other side of it. (The photographer side that is) You’ll also notice that it gives you a crazy circle light in your eyes, kind of like you are possessed. I thought that was ace. / Because the light goes in a big circle around the lens, you can pretty much cover the whole thing with hair, or possibly other things, and it still manages to light everything up. I thought that was ace too. / In fact, lack of shadows is probably my favourite thing about it. You can flash someone straight on, even if they are having a girly hissy fit backed up against a wall, and there are no severe shadows behind them. / And you can take photos through blinds, bars and fabric without casting shadows on your subject. John’s a good sport and let us trap him between the blinds and the door to test out this theory. I reckon John is a bit ace too. / This whole “no shadows” business means it’s also great for taking photos inside things, which is also ace. / even inside your nose / And James thought that was ace. Just see how happy he is!

An overnight low of 8 degrees celsius wasn’t going to stop me from bribing two models, a stylist and a second photographer freeze their tits off for the sake of art. Extra love goes to the models who braved the elements in skimpy dresses and sheer camisoles – I promise next time we will be indoors and with the heater on full! I tend to use RedBubble for showing my art photography, but I seem to be shooting a lot of fashiony stuff lately so thought I’d share a bit of what I’ve been up to. You can see some more here and here if you’re keen
Now for something a little bit different. This was part of my course at university – studio photography. This was taken with a Hasselblad 501cm medium format camera – with a flashring – developed in darkroom and scanned from the original print (my negs are still with lecturer).

I recently purchased the Ray Flash Ring Flash Adapter, and i love it! The cost is just $200 US (available online at Samy’s and B&H). I have used the flash on one pro portrait shoot so far, and the results were excellent. I’ve also experimented with different settings and subjects outside. Also great results. ETTL works just fine. The unit is one solid piece, so it’s a bit awkward for packing in a camera bag, but I got mine to fit after some maneuvering. If you’ve wanted to buy a ring flash, I encourage you to give this one a try. it’s a great alternative to the more expensive models. Glennis
Something that i have been wanting to do for a while.
