    Introducing the Lange Industries Ring Light - TaDA!

    I thought I already posted this but it has disappeared - Spooky

    Wandering around Bury St Edmunds on Saturday I came across some stainless steel bowls in Thing Me Bobs - the local thrift shop chain. I had an idea of the DIY kind..................................





    Took about an hour to make and was fairly straight forward. All I have to do now is cut some frosted polyprop sheeting into a circle so it can be used as a clip on diffuser. I had some of the bits at home anyway and luckily own a decent selection of tools. Well happy with the results so far. These were just taken while Kerri was on the sofa, no prep other than to raise the stand so it was pointing down on her. Kerri likes them which is good as it means I should be able to convince her to pose properly soon so I can have a proper go a really get to grips with using it.

    What a clever idea Paul. And it works pretty well doesn't it. I do like that first shot. Very nicely done.

    Wow Paul, Makes my home made diffuser look like a bin!!
    This is such a brilliant idea, and works beautifully... as a beauty dish should. lol

    Isn't it great when a wild plan comes together and works!?

    Genius!

    All it needs is some sticky back plastic, and some lolly sticks!

    Maybe we could do some RPF home build project videos in the style of Blue Peter. I have an idea for a ring light / beauty dish, infact here's one I made earlier!
