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.


Just an FYI, I used:

Canon EOS 7D

Orbis Ring Flash Attachment Kit

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens

Major FYI: these aren’t done! I’m still editing and tweaking a bit but I thought I’d share these photos. You may want to check out Day 1 of the Field review, use at Comic Con days 1 and 2, and also check out our wedding affiliate Snapknot. The complete Field Review is coming soon.

Review: Impact 60 Inch Convertible Umbrella

Impact is a brand that is relatively new to the photo industry, but has created some very interesting products since their inception. One of which, the Impact LiteTrek, is used by many photographers such as Kevin Kabuto. In fact, I did an entire shoot with one as well. When the company offered me a chance to test out their 60 inch convertible umbrella, I was a bit intrigued. Convertible Umbrellas are unique in that they offer all the functionality of a normal umbrella with reflective properties, but they can be converted into a shoot through umbrella with direct diffusion properties similar to a softbox as well. As with all light sources, larger units give off softer light in relation to the size of the subject.
