Diy Ringflash over at Unplggd.com

I am a huge DIY enthusiast and I have made a lot of light modifiers over the years. About a month ago i made my own DIY ringflash. I was wanting to document it but i got distracted. Low and behold over at http://www.unplggd.com there is a post with some instructions on how to make one. Its not the same way i made mine but it is still another very effective set up. Mine is also a lot bigger which would soften the light a wee bit more.

The Selvedge Yard

Still feeling horrible from my ankle injury as well, I’ve got plenty of roaming time on the internet. This was spotted over at defgrip, and seriously stole 30 minutes of my time before I realized it. From vintage Playboy to  ancient tattoo art, there should be something you can enjoy as well. It’s full of interesting photos and includes great information about them as well.

One article that grabbed my attention was called bikes-bikinis-beer & beach. It details bike week in Daytona Beach, Florida quite a few years back.

Hey all. Its good to see Devon Posting on here as well. He is a friend of mine back in Louisville and definitely knows his stuff behind the lens.

I was looking through a bunch of old photographs and i came across one one of the first riding photo that i was ever really excited about. 

This was an interesting shot because i didnt use typical gear. I was home in louisville on break from photography school and i had borrowed a TON of equipment. This photo was shot using the following.

Lights– Profoto Acute 600 w/s Studio heads with 3’x4′ Softbox and one bare head.

Mamiya 645 AFD II with a Leaf Aptus 22 Digital Back, 50mm lens.

Shooting ISO 50. Shutter 1/500 @ f/4

It was a really interesting shot. Using medium format digital the dynamic range even 5 years ago was amazing. The photo has an almost HDR  feel but was never shot as such. I just thought i would share. Keep shooting and expect some new posts from me soon.

 

Hey Whats Up

I’m Devon Denham,and I also shoot photos amongst the rest of these guys on here. I’m happy to say I’ll be contributing to this awesome site. So happy shooting and filming to everyone.
