jeff__2 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 What is that "homemade" ring flash attached to the hotshoe? It is on the front page of the New York Times today (Thurs Feb 9). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400bpm Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Can't tell too well from the resolution of the scan and without a hardcopy in front of me, but it looks homemade. I don't suppose it's too difficult to make a U-shaped track out of cardboard and line it with mylar or reflective foil to sort-of get that effect. I must confess I've considered doing this sort of thing before. The Vivitar 6000AF I have didn't quite yeld the effect I was hoping for, and it's lack of compatability with my 20D has limited its output to full-power at all times.

._._z Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Could be (homebrewed?) LEDs as a continuous light source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

._._z Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Not LEDs then. Just a jerryrigged ringflash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
