[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my daughter pausing for the briefest of moments for me to grab a quick portrait of her; so I had no time to loose. This was sort of an experimental shot as far as lighting is concerned as I used a f-155 Ring-O flash which is a cheaper alternative to the real thing. It simply attaches to my existing SB-600 Speedlight and provides a Ring-o flash effect through an oval internal reflected light structure. I really bought this for my macro work with my reverse mount 50mm prime but decided to give it a go for close up portrait and I must say I like the effect it creates with an evenly lit, shadowless image. I am interested to hear your thoughts and experience with this setup if you have tried it before. Any comments, tips and workshops always welcome and thanks for dropping by.

Regards,

Dilshan

Great shot my friend! love your POV and eye contact! DOF is perfect and a good focus on the face! well done! TFS

Dilshan, you have very beautiful children!!
Great shot of your daughter. I love her pose, her-over-the-shoulder look. Great sharpness on her face, good details on her skin, lips, eyes, clothing, etc. I have no tips on how to make this a better shot .. I just find it very appealing.
Have a nice weekend

A great portrait of your very innocent and cute daughter, with such a deep black colored beautiful eyes, Dilshan!

I like the way she is posing for you. She faces the camera so boldly, is amazing.
Very well done!

Have a nice weekend, my friend.

best regards,

I've never heard of an attachment to a speedlite to create a ring flash effect but I'm interested! It has a good effect - although I notice quite a slow shutter speed despite the wide aperture, so evidently it doesn't disperse so very much light?
Still - great connection from your daughter, the tilt and the composition here work well!
