    Cool – beautifully illustrated!

    I love ring flashes & hope more people get to try them. It adds a nice touch of bizzareness to photos. Here are two of my ring flash pictures: jerk alert (that’s a softball injury) and murray the wonder cat.

They were designed specifically in the early 20th century to cam out when too much force was applied.
