    Check out this DIY macro ring light made from LED flashlights. This could be great for photos of flies or insects. Kind of a cool and creative way to piece it together.
    And if you take it with you into the field, you’ve got enough light to find your way home if you stay out after sunset!

    I saw one of those yesterday and wondered how well they worked. Looks like they do quite well. Nice shot Jay.

    Thanks you guys.  That red color in the shot is from a Japanese Maple that I have in my yard.  I love when the colors change from green to red.

    The nice thing about the RayFlash is that it has a very nice effect on Portraits.  For $200ish it is not a bad pick up.
