i was trying to describe a ring flash to my friend jp, and he just wasn't getting it. so i did a quick setup and shot these demo pictures, so he could see how the camera + ring works. it's pretty simple, really. the camera lens looks through the hole in the center of the flash, that way when the flash goes off, there is a "ring" of shadow around the subject. hence, "ring flash". as you can see, it can be handheld, although it does tend to get a bit heavy after a while.
the back end:
sexy, isn't it?
That is a set up man! DANG! I think I am scared of you holding that thing. I guess "I get it" now.
