Posted a couple new images with the combo here: http://jchphotography.wordpress.com (Second post from the top). SB-800 w/beauty dish to camera left and slightly above Cat’s eyeline, and ringlight adapter for on-axis fill to soften the shadows under the brim of her hat. <BR/><BR/>I tried a couple different diffusion options for the ringlight, and finally settled on a 1/8-inch thick piece of translucent acrylic shaped and routed to fit. Works great! Photos of the finished product here:<BR/>http://www.pbase.com/haverstick/image/108179933<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to Anaheim SSBR!<BR/><BR/>JonJon - Jon C.

I had been planning on building a ring light out of stainless steel mixing bowls purchased cheaply from Walmart or a surplus store and building the centre connector from a piece of PVC pipe wrapped with the foil tape.
