April 27, 2009 by admin
We just heard from our resident muse, Carena West, AKA the face of the orbis™ ring flash, that she just featured as one of the gorgeous grid girls at this weekend’s Formula 1 Grand Prix in Bahrain. Great job ! I’ll be pestering her for a photo to post here when she returns later on this week.
we have a winner !

The winner of the first orbis™ competition has just been announced. Young Norwegian photographer Eirik Slyngstad won, with an ethereal fashion-oriented image taken using his orbis™ ring flash. Check out a full interview with Eirik and see his winning image in our May 4th ’09 blog post here. Here’s a little strip of some of the finalists:
The orbis™ comp was so hard to judge we couldn’t pick a winner at all when we first started judging. We agonised over our decision for a week and even took to carrying around prints of our favourite photos to stick on the walls of our office and homes. That’s how hard it was! The runners-up are all awesome photos. We’ve posted them to the gallery page, so go take a look!
new video !

We just uploaded a behind-the-scenes look a photo shoot of a pretty young kickboxer, where the orbis™ was used to great effect both as a ring flash and in true off-camera strobist style as a micro-softbox. Take a look here to see it, and here’s one of the photos from the shoot.
Take a look after the jump for more photos…
The last photo is shot with the orbis™ on a lightstand to camera left, you’ll see the setup when you watch the video.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the pics and video, keep checking back for more via our RSS and Twitter feeds !

I’m very proud to be able to announce today that we have just signed a distribution deal with OmegaSatter in the USA, so the orbis(tm) ring flash will soon be available in all good camera stores across the US. Keep an eye on our Dealer and Distributor page for details of where. Great news for Strobists across the USA !
I came across a breathtaking slideshow of photos taken with an orbis™ by Kuwaiti photographer Jamal Abdulnasser Al-Ayoubi, of portraits of market traders in Kuwait. Check it out here. JM
