Ring flashes are often used in macro, so you can raise your aperture from 5,6 to 16 and such get a better dof.BUT with the better dof of the ring flash also comes a flat and too even light. And with macro, shadows are important, to enhance details like scales or hairs, so the ring flash is both a curse and a deliberance.There are people who have blinded parts of the flash to control the shadows.They are succesfull, but still the light comes from the camera and not from above or from the side, and that is impossible to do anything about.I would say a ring flash is only meaningfull as a fill light as long as the main lights are quite a bit stronger.
Funny Zeus, and you could make a toasted cheese sandwich at the same time to did the shoot?
