Ring flash with your own hands

To get a high-quality image using a camera, you need to have a good experience. This is a real art - to catch the moment and take into account all the features of lighting, the spatial location of the object and the time delay during the operation of the equipment. Famous in the whole world photo exhibitions reflect the moments captured by experienced masters of their craft. But to obtain a high-quality image, it is not enough to have good equipment and experience of a specialist. Well-designed lighting of the object plays an important role, because it is the reflected light that gets on the film or the memory card of a digital camera.

Many masters use for their work outbreaks of a variety of designs: square, rectangular, rhomboid, etc. Innovation in this area in its time was a ring flash. When it operates, the light is evenly reflected and reflected from the object, which allows you to make high-quality photographs. The image in this case is more smooth, without sharp transitions and falling shadows distorting the contours. This property has been noticed by specialists, and now the ring flash is successfully used in photo studios around the world.

It is worn directly on the lens. Structurally, this ring flash is made in the form of a ring a few centimeters in diameter. Of course, the camera

Loses mobility, but in stationary conditions this does not play a major role. When shooting, the main setting becomes the time delay setting. This process needs to be treated carefully, because otherwise the photo may appear dark stripes. The ring flash briefly illuminates the subject from all sides, allowing you to take high-quality pictures.

You can achieve such an effect with the help of simple improvements of your photo studio. A ring flash can be made by hand. It consists of standard lighting devices, which must be placed around the perimeter of the photographic lens, enclosing them in a plastic casing. You can go the simpler way, using a reflection from the mirror surface of the foil, which is glued to the inner surface of the plastic box from the DVD. In the middle of the last hole is made for its mounting on the lens. The light from a standard photo flash must be redistributed in such a way that it gets inside the box and evenly reflects on the object from the entire surface of the foil. The device drawings can be made by yourself or found in special literature.

In addition, such devices are manufactured on an industrial scale and sold in stores. A good example is the Canon flash ring, which has excellent performance. This device is indispensable for normal or macro photography, it allows you to capture the smallest details with good quality. This flash can be used with different lenses and has proven itself over the years of trouble-free operation. The optimum dimensions of the device are as close as possible to the dimensions of the camera itself and will not cause any inconvenience during the photo session. The protective housing of the device meets all existing standards and ensures reliable operation even under adverse conditions.
