DIY: Ringflash and others

Views

I spent my day today making the CD Spindle Ringflash I wanted to AGES ago.
This is the tutorial I used: StumbleUpon: RingFlash DIY

At first I used tin foil for the ring backing, but this spread the light unevenly and wasn't very effective. So I ripped out the foil and replaced it with paper!

And voila! It's perfect... Not as bright as foil, but quite good.
The effects are astounding, considering that it's free.

There's virtually no shadows on my dad's face from his glasses when compared to no ring, direct flash. It really softens the edges and creates a dreamy effect.

This is great for close-ups of nearly anything! Portraits especially.

PET SOCIETY on FACEBOOK
I never knew that I'd get so addicted to this game! It's so awesome! almost like peaceful WarCraft if you ask me! If you don't have me on Facebook, be sure to add me soon! As well as my photography fan page!
It's bloody awesome.


One Small Step for DeviantART, Huge leap for community
I recently renewed my dA subscription, saw the new features and were desperate to try them out. I did and I'm really happy! The new Critique ability is awesome, and I'm addicted to that too! (Trying to promote myself and the community, you see)
The exchange rates (Dollar to Rand) isn't too bad at the moment, so I got quite a good (normal) price for my sub.
I should've gotten a print one though, coz it comes with free 3months! (forgot about that!)

Google AdWords
I recently signed up to the Google Advertising drive. It seems promising, but not very cost-effective! Considering google has so many hits, I could reconsider the previous statement though.
If you guys are by any chance searching the net for keywords that are similar to the ones I would use for my deviantART profile, please do NOT click on my Ad, as I HAVE to pay for them! (the clicks), so if you do! just remember that you're costing me unwanted waste!

Last Words
I wanna make a softbox, I contacted my neighbor (aspiring carpenter) and we might get it off the ground tomorrow! Keep your eyes Peeled!

xx
Love,
A.
