A ring flash is something i've actually been wanting to use for a long time but i've never had the chance so this was the first time using a ring flash adaptor on the Bowens in the studio at uni.

Lit with the Bowens ring flash adaptor from the front and two reflector heads from the rear; one at either side. Also used a gold reflector from above to try and bounce a bit of light back onto the top of the head.

It'd been a while since i've done any night photography so i decided to go out and do some again. Instead i wanted to get away from doing quite wide shots and try to focus in on smaller areas and details.

This was taken down Little Mason Street, Hull.

About a 3 minute exposure at f/8.0, ISO100.

This is the first image in a series i have just started to shoot and will hopefully continue to shoot. Recently around 22 pieces of art were put up around Beverley from two artists which acted as an "outdoor" exhibition and also a trail through Beverley.

One thing you notice as you start looking at these pieces of art is that they have been placed in pretty horrible places and places that can't be seen such as above shops.
