Thumbs up First Shoot With a Ring Flash!

My studio bought a Ring Flash for me to play around with (i know it's super sweet to just ask and have them buy you one!!! HAHA). I got the Alien Bee ARB800. It is much harder to use than I originally thought it would be but i think I got some cool pictures! Some of them are with just the ring flash shooting through the middle of it while others are used with the RF off to the side of the camera and with other lights. Let me know what you think!

Im going to start off with my favorite one:

1.


2


3


4


5


6


7


8


What do you think? Im going to play with it some more today.

Josh

I have to say, #4 is my favorite; her smile in that one is really great. #5 shows off the ring flash effect best, though.
