Primeras impresiones con el Ray Flash, originally uploaded by .:fotomaf:..

29 de diciembre 2009 • Mauro A. Fuentes Álvarez • Canon EOS 5D Mark II • f/2,0 a ¹⁄₂₀ seg. ISO 100, 0 EV, Programa: Manual, Medición: Puntual • Flash? flash fired • Objetivo: EF135mm f/2L USM a 135 mm

Lo he probado poco pero en general los resultados me han gustado pero tiene un pero, e importante, y es que hay que tener un cuidado con los ojos rojos que a mi ya se me había olvidado… por lo demás me parece una opción curiosa (aunque algo cara) de suavizar sombras.

Para que veáis la diferencia entre los diferentes usos del flash, todas con el flash manejado por la cámara a través de eTTL y sin compensación ninguna.

First pic with my Rayflash ringflash adapter, Very cool!

The two images below were taken to demonstrate the lighting effect produced by the Ray Flash for close-up portraits.  The image on the left was taken using a bare flash.  The image on the right was taken using the Ray Flash.  The camera settings are the same.  Note the difference in the skin, shadow and specular highlights.

What is the Ray Flash Ringflah Adapter?

The Ray Flash (U.S. and international patents pending) is a unique adapter for your hot-shoe flash unit designed to replicate the lighting effect produced by traditional, expensive, and heavy powered studio ring light units.

The Ray Flash is portable and lightweight, and has been designed to take advantage of a camera’s TTL metering capabilities.  Because the Ray Flash relies on the hot-shoe flash to generate its light, it contains no electronics, no flash tubes and requires no cumbersome cables.  The light distribution is accomplished through a sophisticated system of internal light-shapers designed to distribute and project the light evenly around the lens.

The Ray Flash creates the distinctive ring light effect:  a three-dimensional shadow-wrapped look around the subject.  Because ring flash light originates from a circle around the lens, it produces a virtually shadowless look on the front of your subject, while producing a soft even shadow around the edges. The versatile Ray Flash is ideally suited for fashion, wedding, portrait, journalist and macro photography as either a main or fill light.

Weighing just 13-14 oz, the Ray Flash is lightweight and is easily supported by hot-shoe mounted flash units. The 4 1/8” internal diameter of the Ray Flash is large enough to accept almost all professional lenses from Nikon & Canon.

The Ray Flash is specifically designed for the Canon 580EX (I & II), Nikon SB800 and Nikon SB900 flash units.  However, existing Ray Flash models will also fit older Nikon flash units, including the SB24, SB26 and SB600, as well as selected flash units from Sony, Metz, Olympus, and Sigma.  For the full model range please see the chart at the bottom of the page.
