A ring light flash provides an even "circle" of light that illuminates a subject being shot from directly in front. You can make a ring light flash that will fit over the existing flash already built into a camera to change the quality of the light. You will need a few supplies from a home and garden store and some common tools found in most households. The sharpness and high contrast of the pictures shot using the ring light flash will make your digital or film-based pictures stand out in a way that they never did before.
Instructions
1. Place a sheet of newspaper on a table. Place the big plastic bowl face down on the newspaper. Stand the PVC pipe on the center of the plastic bowl. Draw a circle around the bottom of the PVC pipe with the pen.
2. Remove the PVC pipe from the big plastic bowl. Cut through the circle drawn on the big plastic bowl with the utility knife. Dispose of the cut out plastic.
3. Repeat this entire procedure with the smaller plastic bowl.
4. Place the head of the electronic flash against a side of the big plastic bowel. Draw an outline around the head of the electronic flash with the pen.
5. Remove the electronic flash from the big plastic bowel. Cut out the outline with the utility knife. Dispose of the cut out plastic.
6. Turn the big plastic bowl over. Apply bonding glue to the inside of the big plastic bowl.
7. Tear off sheets of aluminum foil. Apply the aluminum foil to the inside of the big plastic bowl. Continue adding aluminum foil to the inside of the big plastic bowl until it is completely covered. Let the bonding glue set for two hours.
8. Repeat this procedure with the outside of the small plastic bowl. Let the bonding glue set for two hours.
9. Stand the PVC pipe on the newspaper. Apply bonding glue around the sides of the PVC pipe. Wrap sheets of aluminum foil around the sides of the PVC pipe. Continue adding aluminum foil until the sides of the PVC pipe are completely covered. Let the bonding glue set for two hours.
10. Place the small plastic bowl face down on the newspaper. Apply bonding glue around the inside rim of the hole on the top of the small plastic bowl. Stand the PVC pipe inside of the small plastic bowel. Let the bonding glue set for two hours.
11. Apply bonding glue around the outer rim of the top end of the PVC pipe. Place the big plastic bowl face down over the PVC pipe. Let the bonding glue set for two hours.
12. Hold the ring flash light you have made with the hole in the side of the big plastic bowl facing you. Turn the big plastic bowl so that the hole is at the top.
13. Place the electronic flash against the hole in the side of the big plastic bowel. Push the lens of the camera against the hole at the end of the PVC pipe. Affix the camera to your ring flash light with strips of duct tape on each side.
