It's not a very pretty device, but it does get the light where you need it when taking a macro shot. For less than $40, a mere 1/10th of what you would spend on any type of macro light from a large manufacture, you could have this one. It's to simple a 5th grader could make one. Be sure to check it out if you like to make your own accessories and take macro shots. It's at http://www.alanlook.com/gear along with the other contraptions I've concocted. They aren't all pretty, but the do work and cost less than manufactured units.
I don't generally talk about my dreams. I'm not a person that really takes a lot of stock in them. The other night I had a dream that ended up with me at a Taylor Swift concert. (Get your mind out of the gutter). Funny the evening started out with me at the Shirk Center shooting some kind of event. As I was leaving, I saw the Tri-Valley roller derby team on the track in Wilder Field. Strange, roller derby isn't a high school sport. Well, since I had my gear I thought I would get a few shots. As I got into the field, the event switched from roller derby to a Taylor Swift concert. It was now all Romeo and White Horses. Standing in the pit, minding my own business taking in the music and photos of Swift for about 3 songs I was approached by a burly guy in a yellow shirt. Event Security I guess the 3 songs I was allowed to photograph was over. Looking over my shoulder as I left were 6 thousand fans with point and shoots taking photo upon photo. Why didn't I think to bring a $100 camera instead of $10,000 worth of gear? Thank goodness I woke up.
