Godet EKII under a ring light...

Trevor,

Those are outstanding shots. Just beautiful. Does the device plug right into your camera post and run off of your camer's battery(s)?

Edit: I looked it up online. Some very inexpensive ring lights for your camera. External battery pack, looks like.

I didn't really know what I was buying when I got it -- I just found the least expensive one on Amazon ($19.95) that said it fit my camera, and got it. Unfortunately I can't quite figure out how to mount it on the lens, so I'm holding it on there for the moment. It uses 4 AA batteries, which are housed inside a pack that mounts on the shoe so that the flash can control it. However I've just been using the "always on" feature so far.

Trevor,

I found using 'inter-facing' fabric from JoAnn's Fabric's for a difuser over the ring light's bulb knocked all the glare down and any light 'bounce-back'. It 'softened' the harsh light. I see just a little evidence of this in your shots, but it's very, very minor. I was getting a lot because my ring light is very bright. The fabric comes in all thicknesses/densities.
