    new toys and playing

    as you might know I got the sigma 150mm o.s back from repair the other day , over the weekend I also spotted a mieke LED MK-FC110 ring flash on e.bay for the princely sum of £6.15 so I had a bid and surprisingly won it .it arrived today and after a initial unsuccessful trial I thought I had wasted my money .I then skipped through some reviews on amazon about them and found one buyer that knew what he was talking about .
    its simply a case of putting your camera in manual mode selecting a shutter speed of 1/125th sec and then simply adjusting light intensity . and my initial thoughts were it would simply be a video light ,wrong again it does actually flash and quiet nicely to . another little tool in the armoury if and when needed .I also have my godox l.e.d light panel as either full or fill in lighting .

    Nice Jeff, try a bit of white card or bacofoil to bounce some of the light where you get shadows forming.

    Happy playing

        Jeff it seems a bit harsh with a pinky tint, but in fairness I'm looking at it on a laptop
