$6 Ringlight
This is just the sort of thing that would make a Holga happy! And Steven, thanks for the tip on reflective paint. -P- Feb 06 06 03:57 am Link Dave Krueger wrote:

With such a minimal output, you could use colored lights that would add a cast to the subject, but not the background should you have a wide enough image. Humm.... let's get out those strands of single color reds, blues, greens... nahh, leave the greens at home. Marc Stevenson UCPhotog Feb 06 06 04:31 am Link Guilty of using a 99cent turkey pan as a reflector. I actually used it a couple weeks ago, then again last week. Eventually I would like to be able to do a fashion/glamour shoot with only common kitchen items. And a Dremel tool. Oh I made a snoot out of... out of... actually I don't know what the hell that thing was supposed to be, but it jumped in front of me at a hardware store, and it was 3 bucks... I've done so much dumb shit I can't even remember. Sometimes I remember when I see the pictures ("oh yeah, I took apart some white Ikea furniture to use as a white bounce for that one..."). Mmmm, melamine. Feb 06 06 04:42 am Link easyonthe eyes wrote: Wow! I thought I was innovative, but you musta had survival training or something. Feb 06 06 11:27 pm Link Vihao wrote: Yep. This is a lot like that, only it's actually pretty light (as in not weighing much).

Also, it's big enough to easily shoot through it with my RB67 which has a filter size of 77 mm. Good luck with the bigger tube. Flourescent bulbs get brighter all the time. Feb 06 06 11:32 pm Link I've used on surefire flashlight. Shot in a garage, blacked out the whole thing and did long shutter takes. DOn't know why, but just felt like it...

It's cheap too. Feb 12 06 03:46 pm Link I bought one of those hideous round fluorescent ceiling lights at the hardware store for $40. This is one of the images I got. Seriously, it turned this girl's mood from hugely self critical and pissy to delighted, in about 25 shots.  Mar 14 07 06:18 am Link How do you time your shutter to to go off only when the lights blink?
