hmm a nice title,

i just threw my entry in after a nice little shoot

and haha don thats a great idea with the mic! i suppose what you say "some people have a hard time taking me seriously...till they see the results!" could also relate to me if i was to take my DIY ring flash out sometime!

thats how i have mine fitted, onto the flash gun and then slipped over the lens.
That one above isnt actually a picture of my one but its identical, appart from the canon gear of course

i had to modify my one though as i used it with my fish eye as my plan is to use it for my club photography so i what i did was had it off to one side with my flash twisted in the bounce position.
i'll upload some more photographs tomorrow as i have to get some sleep. Chris wont be happy if im shattered

haha well thank you John, i can just see it now. William Sloan showing 10 year olds how to make ring flash's for their compact cameras

yes i think taking to weddings in the state its in at the moment might be that great, but i hope to make it look a little neater. Im also talking to a friend who might be able to make a vacuum formed plastic outer for it, which should aid its appearance.
Either way, watch this space!!!

A Few Little Details

Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: f/16
Focal Length: 10 mm
ISO: 100

and also an picture of what my ring flash kind of looks like all be it a little bigger!

What do you do on a sunday evening with nothing else to do? well i go and make a Ring Flash (beats waiting around for pentax to release their one!)
let me know what you think of the result

Bargain!

haha no, its all "A" Grade, so no need to fear

the 10-20 is a great lens at a great price. If you could stretch to the 12-24mm then do! its slightly better optically all be it not as wide. But you would struggle to see much of a difference.

We have the 12-24 at £499 and the sigma at £329

either way you are going to be very happy with the results

yes sorry, A grade is a term related to Refurbished Stock
