Interesting this same concept was on a Blog that I follow: Raid the Kitchen to Build a DIY Ring Flash
A ring flash can be a very useful piece of kit. The light is flat and even, and beloved of fashion and portrait photographers alike. The problem is that, like all photographic equipment, they cost a fortune. Even an adapter, essentially a light-bending tube with no electronics, will cost around $300. So, why not make your own? That’s what Manzin of the Digital Photography School forums did, and the result is above. Essentially free (if you raid the kitchen), the adapter is made of two plastic bowls, one big and one small. The gap between them is filled with aluminum foil and the flash is fired in from the side. You won’t get the efficiency of a dedicated adapter — that foil will eat some of the light — but for a quick and dirty projects it’s perfect. Just make sure you don’t use mom’s favorite Tupperware.
