Brought my repaired 30D with the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 manual lens and my 5DMK2, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, and this DIY Ring-Flash to Zilker for some lunch-time fun.

#1 Shot with the 30D and Rokinon 85/1.4 at ISO 100, 1/5000th, f/1.4


#1 With the 5DMK2, 100/2.8, and DIY Ring-Flash as fill ISO 160, 1/125th, f/8
