Ringlight Bonanza with Joris van den Heuvel
Not so long ago, I got a mail from a reader and fellow DIYer Joris van den Heuvel. Joris referred me to his site where to my astonishment I found a ringlight heaven.
Now, I know that the photography web has been sizzling with ringlights ever since David Hobby posted his challenge for a DIY ringflash, but this guy is something else. Got some cool stuff I haven't seen anywhere else.
Starting out with a "regular" one liner LED ring light (AKA Ring Light 1.0), Joris evolved to a two liner LED array and even a three liner. BUT WAIT!!! It gets better. CFFL tubes are yet another version of a ring flash, and.....
Joris's latest work in progress is a fiber optics based ring light (just saying fiber optics flash makes me feel sophisticated and cool). I say - stay tuned for this one - as my friends' say this is something completely different. You know what; check em all out here.
If you have a Technorati account and a spear minute, I'd love it if you add DIYP as a fav. You can use this link.

Ring flash and ring lights
Ring flash and ring lights have always facinated me. They are just so un-natural, that you tend to see everything in a slightly different manner. Familiar things become new too, especially because of the way in which the shadows fall... Thanks for this resource.
Finished!
I've recently finished the fiber optic ring flash project. Go check it out, although I've hardly any results to show yet.
mighty impressive
great results.
I can think of many more uses for the fiber thingey, like splitting the lighting or getting several spots out of one flash. Well Done.
