I wonder if anyone has tried simulating a ring light for macro work,
by putting a studio strobe with umbrella directly behind the camera
and triggering the camera with a cable release?
In a similar vein, what is the fabric that is used for shoot through
umbrellas, soft boxes etc? It seems I could make a really big
softbox for a lot less than it would cost to buy, if I bought the
right fabric, plastic or whatever is used for the diffuser.
An idea I've been thinking about for a while and might pursue if I ever
get "a round tuit" is taking the strobes off a bunch of disposable
cameras and building some kind of ring platform to mount them on; maybe
a plastic "bundt cake" pan would work.
Gotta be careful to make sure the electrical components are protected;
sealed away where they can't zap you.
