Ring Flash

Use ringflash for reflections and fill light.

Ring flash is a special flash that circles the lens and projects right on the lens axis.  What is unique about this flash is the circle reflections and outlining shadow it produces.  This flash is often used in fashion, but it can be used anywhere.  Generally there are two styles of shooting with this flash, one using the ring flash as fill, the other using the ring flash as the main light.  We found another use experimenting the other day, using the ring flash primarily for reflections.
