Pulled a few things out of my junk drawer and tried taking a few shots with my new DIY ring light. Here are the results.

I found the DIY info on building the ring light on this page: Modding Project: Ring Light MetkuMods - Because you love your hardware! and thought I'd give it a try. Here's the result of today's efforts:

What I've realized though is my nifty fifty is the wrong lens to use this on as the minimum focal length is 1.5ft and while the LEDs are pretty bright they don't throw enough light for 1.5ft. A macro or something that could be at .5ft or something would be best for this project. It was a fun build though.
