Home made ring flash...

What do you get when you combine 2 plastic bowls, aluminum foil, gaffer tape, a pipe, some glue, and a crappy economy? A home made ring flash, of course! I made one today, and I LOVE it! Here are some of the first photos I took with it: (my nephew Cayden, my sis Thera, and me).



I bought the two bowls for about $2 each, the pipe for $4, the glue for $5, and already had the aluminum foil and gaffer tape (and the flash, of course). SO, instead of spending $200 on a ring flash from Calumet, I spent $11 and some change and had fun making it! I found the instructions online, and modified a couple of things here and there... but here's a link if you want to know how to make one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jedrek/239141592/
And here was my end result... kinda ghetto fab, but it works!



Fun, fun!
