Today is the result of my first attempts with a new light modifier I made earlier in the evening for a portable hot shoe flash. It’s a ringlight adaptor which cost about £1 to make and converts a normal flash to give a ringlight effect in the eyes. I’ll write a small piece about how I made it in a future blog but for now I’m uploading picture 17 of my Photo365 project.
Today’s entry for my Photo365 project was inspired by the ePHOTOzine Black & White group who’ve set there weekly B&W challenge with the theme flowers. I decided to dismantle the Christmas flower display that was wilted after a week of intense heat from central heating and fireplace. And pulled out a dried rose.
I placed it on the garage floor which makes a great background and illuminated with a home made ringlight.
I used a Pentax ist D which has been converted to infrared and here’s the result after a bit of post processing in Lightroom.
