DIY Ring Light

Many photographers use DIY light modifiers with their flashguns or lights.

Ingredients

• 1 metal bowl 22-26 cm diameter
• 1 metal cylinder 10cm dia, 10 cm long
• 1 plastic plate

I had a cylinder made in a tin shop but you can use a empty tin can from a fruit salad.

I also had the ball base cut in the shop.

Then I opened a hole in the side of the bowl for the flash

Then I put everything together

I have the flash connected with an extension cord facing the subject. I use E-TTL mode. The lens of the camera goes through the bowl. The results are very good.

Here are the results

With some PP in Lightroom
