The other night, my good buddy Mike Florio and I shot a concert (photos and video) for the band Mancie. It was a favor for my other friend, Andrea Fischman, who leads that band and is a fellow photographer. Andrea wanted me to do a couple of portraits of her, her friend and the band. This was at around 8pm at night, and it was super dark—perhaps one of the darkest venues I’ve shot in. However, I was able to beat the darkness with a single speedlite and by making the most of it by placing it in the right spots. Here’s how I did it and how you can figure out how to do this as well.

Buy the The Ring Flash Adapter at the Photojojo Store!
We got the Photojojo Ring Flash Adapter in for review last night, and today I took it on a bit of an excursion. I had a busy day in and out of the office, and despite this I got some time to experiment with this item and give it a bit of a run through.
Edit: The real name is the Go Pro Ring Flash Adapter

We gave our initial thoughts on the ExpoImaging Ray Flash in Day 1, so what is it actually like in use? I asked former Premium Compact Specialist Will Greenwald to be my model one night for this strobist test. The following photos are the results of that night of shooting. All photos were not post-processed in order to show the most true-to-use results.

We previously reviewed the Orbis, which was a terrific all-in-one ring flash and softbox. But now we’ve got our fondling fingers on the ExpoImaging Ray Flash. Though it has a much different design, the unit is still proving so far to be very capable in tests (which are still on-going at the time of writing this posting.)

Though other postings haven’t been written about the Orbis and the Orbis Arm in detail in the Field Review format, we have written about them often. In those postings, various samples were touched upon. Now, we deliver the full review of the Orbis Ring Flash.

A full review of the Orbis is coming, but I recently shot a wedding using it. How did it fare? Very well actually. It’s amazing how subjects tend to react when seeing a ring flash vs the standard flashes that they’re so used to seeing professionals carry. Here are some samples.
