<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2652973, member: 76086&quot;]OK, so Doug brought up in another thread (and some have been using them) the &#039;selfie light&#039;.&nbsp; Today mine arrived.&nbsp; After all, it was just $8 and some change to experiment.&nbsp; Absurdly cheap.&nbsp; Below are some shots of the packaging (why, I dont know, just thought it might lend something).&nbsp; Yep, its just a clip on ring light for your cel phone.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]587197[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]587203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587196[/ATTACH] </p><p>I&#039;m using an iPhone 6s.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a phone guy (in fact I kind of despise them and how they are mostly used), so I am not sure of the technical aspects of what the camera can do.&nbsp; I am certain many here do know, but I am not really interested.&nbsp; If it works, its good for me.&nbsp; So, I shot all of these below quick and dirty, no additional lamp, just on my desktop (and just handheld, no stability).&nbsp; No editing at all.&nbsp; The medal and the drachm were shot raised (I dont use a CD spindle like Doug, but a small glass container, actually the type used for holding gold.&nbsp; Yea, 30 years ago gold panning was a hobby for me!).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]587198[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587201[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My assessment?&nbsp; I think this shows good promise.&nbsp; I shot all of these like I said with no additional lamp and just on the lowest setting (it has three brightness levels).&nbsp; While I do think the light is too harsh,&nbsp;&nbsp; I think with a little tweaking and the use of a polarizing filter (which I have for a cel phone, another clip on), I think I can get some pretty good results.&nbsp; For such a small investment, I think this might be of good use for some.&nbsp; I&#039;ll continue experimenting when time permits and post to this thread the results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
