 The ecology photo to art work
Strobo illuminates dark visibility in the waters and makes vanished calor vividly.
Malti lights lighting is better for in water absorbing hard. It makes liven up a color
of center and around of object and wide range. We show the technique which use ring strobo
with losable flont side light in macro shoot as asistant light.
With even diffraction of light, it don't leave artficial shade on object.
And you put a strobo aside not to damage three-dimentional on screen.
And then you light the light from around of top,you can get more natural depth feel.
You make the photo deep and rich.
The poto technique in studio is done all kinds of things like this liting.
Please try to use it. Art starts representation of light and shade.

1 light use "only photo in front of ring light"
"The shoot of crab hiding in crack of the coral is the supecialty of ring."

1 light use "only photo in front of ring light"
With the light in front of ring light you can see the see-through shrimp.

2 light use "ring light and side light"
You can see the resolution of MONNHANA's eye standing out.

 Understanding the merit and demerit of ring flash is the secret to master ring flash.
Advantage of ring flash
1,ring emission tube makes light evenly.
Making round catch light into fish eyes produces a lovely bright.
2,The frontal exposure is the feature of ring flash.
And it's good for closeup mainly.
At closeup shoot you can make the diffraction of light which can't get at
side exposure.
Disdvantage of ring flash
1,When you shoot object with long distance, for short distance of
lens and exposure, flowting suspended solids in the water create halation.
"When particularly you shoot the object with distance equal and more than 50cm,
as the clearness of water the halation of flowting suspended solids is big and
it causes a phenomenon like snow falling.
Concidering it, ring flash is very good for closeup.
If shooting distance less than 50cm, lose of light is few and has sufficient power."
