So I was walking down an aisle at Zellers yesterday, and I noticed a shiny turkey roasting pan.
I figured, ‘Hey! I wonder what would happen if I fired a flash into one of these.’ (Alright, so that wasn’t my exact thought process)
After picking up a few pie tins for good measure, I ventured home.
From there I discovered that to use the roasting pan as a true ringlight…would take some work. My solution? Make it a beauty dish. (A close cousin to a ring light – I was mostly just after the circle catch lights they put in people eyes)
Stuck a flash in the back, and pointed it a reflective surface to bounce the light back at the dish.
My final arts and crafts project.
The result…a neat light.
Special thanks to the girlfriend, Kate, for letting me point this ufo-like-flash at her.
Don’t worry, I won’t bring this silver experiment to your wedding. However, if you do want a high fashion ish look… I will bring a real ring light.
I’m off to a quick meeting at http://www.kwweddingring.ca/
Bye for now.
