I used the bottom of a Styrofoam sandwich box and connected it to the ring flash to get several directions of light.
This is a test shot.

Very nice! It seems I'm not the only one dealing with white Stucco lately, though you dealt with it much better than I did. :thumbup:

Looks pretty good. Lighting is always a challenge. I'm still trying to get proper diffusion on my Lester Dine ring flash. Nothing as good as yours yet. Well done.

ASB - Overall illumination looks good. Styrofoam does a good diffusing/scattering light.

Good job Jim. I like the lighting effect it gave you. Gives just enough shadow for contrast.
I can't quite visualize the rig you made. I'll bet it looks pretty interesting.

Thank you. Your not the first to tell me that they remind them of recluses. I have not run into any here but I know they do sometimes show up here.
