Pretty in Pink

Uploaded: April 20, 2011

Description


This was taken with a ring light that I built with a friend utilizing my Nikon Speedlight SB800 and used for the first time

I built it to fit around my 90mm macro lens with enough room to manually focus

The black background is from the light fall off.

Just for the record..we are in the middle of a snowstorm with 4" to 6"...at this point I cannot see across the street!...so much for global warming..huh?

Exif: F Number: 29, Exposure Bias Value: -1.67, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, return light not detected, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 90.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300

This is really some neat equipment and a lot less expensive than B&H I am sure. Don't look at the snow Ray, look at this picture or you whole gallery it is much better than snow this time of year. This gorgeous Ray, such detail and color saturation. #9360381

A whole 2c here and our precip has been cold rain all day. I guess that is still better than snow! #9360432
