I bought me a ring flash. It is portable 800ABR unit that runs of a small battery or 110v power. I hope to use it in Thai to make portraits in the dump and elsewhere and might try it with wet plate portraiture.
Cost an expensive $928.24 CAD. I will need to buy the mini battery back that will add $300 CAD to the total. The seller in Australia is throwing in all kinds of extras.
From the sellers ad blurb:
One of the best ring strobes out there, high power and produces beautiful portraits.
Controls
are kind of vintage, but it's exceptionally easy. No need to fiddle
with a touch screen and loads of buttons. Just dial to the desired
power and flash away.
Will include some free bulbs for the light preview function.
Includes the moon unit and masks to create funky highlights in the subject's eyes.
The
mounting bracket includes arca-swiss support to assist cameras with an
L-bracket, allows horizontal and vertical shooting, mountable to ball
head.
Umbrella adaptor is included but not pictured. Cord is also included.
