Hi ya' Edwin :D

This is a terrific image :!: :D Your homemade ring flash is working great. I am going to have to make one for my setup. The light is very soft and I don't see a hint of those ugly ring flash rings. Terrific job, Edwin :!: :D

Best regards as always, :D

Nice Image 8) Great Lighting

Like the Ring Flash I guess it will work well if you have TTL Metering :( Have to stick with diffusers.

I only use a simple an cheap flash, so no ttl !
Just fire the flash and look at the histogram, and adjust the apperture (that's why i love digital).
