Orbis Update

After using the Orbis ringflash for some time, I wanted to show a few photos that were taken with it.  You can see these photos below and also in the Glamour gallery.

Overall I would say the Orbis is a good tool to have in my arsenal, especially since it allows me to remain very mobile, as well as providing quick setup, both of which are very important to me.

Note: The ringflash was used "on-camera" for these shots, with one or two separate fill flashes placed off-camera.

Put a ring on it

After dragging my feet on getting new equipment, I am finally going to bite the bullet and replace some of my aging gear. For those of you that have had the pleasure of seeing some of my gear, you'll breathe a sigh of relief, as there will be no more light-stands with missing pins, lopsided umbrellas, etc.

Additionally, I will be purchasing some new additions, one of them being an Orbis Ring Flash adapter. This is basically an adapter that goes over my existing speed-lights, to create a similar effect of a full on ring flash (minus some of the power of course), but in a much more compact and mobile package (i'm all about being mobile)

Once I have a few photo sessions under my belt with this new toy, I will post up the results, so stay tuned.
