Great Comparison of Ring Lights on Strobist

Strobist is running a two part series comparing the Ray Flash v. Orbis v. AB 800 Ring Flash

You can find that series here.

I think there are a couple of important points to draw out:

1) Quality of Light is subjective;

2) The Ray Flash and Orbis are used on a speedlight, but can be mixed with studio strobes on or off camera.  I’ve tested the Ray flash with my Canon 580EX II with excellent results;

3) They are great for both fill and key light applications.

These images were test shots mixing my Ray Flash and 580EX II on-camera with AB 400/800 strobes.  I’m very pleased with results and the Ray Flash is a lot of bang for the buck.

    Alec,

    From the images I can guess that there is a strobe hitting the background where is the second, camera left?

    Thanks,
    Travis

      Hey T,

      This is a 5 light setup. One background, two rims, a hair light and the ray flash from straight on. I’m posting a tutorial shortly describing all this.
