In previous posts, we’ve talked a lot about the way ring lights work. Besides having ring flashes though, there are constant light rings that can deliver the same effect if they are powerful enough. However, the disadvantage can be that your subject may feel like they’re looking into headlights.

Either way, this viral video of music group Pentatonix doing an A capella cover of many of Daft Punk’s songs utilizes a ring light on each and every subject and it is only really visible at one point in the video unless you really know what to look for in a ring light.

Take a look at it after the jump and look closely at each singer’s eyes. Also be sure to check out our guide to Ring Flash.

My Wishlist: What I Want in the Fujifilm X Pro 3

I’ve never found it reasonable to constantly upgrade to the next generation of cameras that come out, and that’s why I’ve been holding out for the Fujifilm X Pro 3. I still own the Fujifilm X Pro 1, and to this day it is in my eyes one of the best cameras ever made in the past 10 years. The image quality still holds up as you can easily make the raw files look like film or have them be really high end. While Sony cameras are what I’d use for most of my work, Fujifilm is what I use for studio projects and for my hobby photography. I’ve always preferred the rangefinder style of cameras as they simply just conform better to my hands.

Photographer Long Nguyen is a financial accountant during the day who turns into a sun seeking photographer at sunrise and sunset–or at least that’s what he says about himself. “Currently I live in Seattle, Washington that provides me opportunities explore numerous areas of this ‘evergreen state’ and in addition to other beautiful places around the world.” he continues. Long is a previous winner of Outdoor Photographer’s American Landscape photography contest, and is always amazed at what nature gives him. Whether it’s the first light from mountains, Long says that he’s much more of a creative photographer than a technical one.
