The Ring Lite flash
is effective in
bright locations
In situations where the background is
extremely bright and the subject is in
shadow, people's faces tend to turn out
dark. By adding illumination from the
front with the Macro Ring Lite flash, the
result is a shot with balanced brightness
on both the background and person.
The Ring Lite flash is effective
for shooting in backlit outdoor locations
These shots were taken in backlit outdoor conditions. When shot
without the flash, the sky in the background is adequately bright,
but the person appears dark. Although there are noticeable
shadows on the chin and under the ear in the shot captured with
an clip-on flash, the shot taken with the Macro Ring Lite flash
illuminates the entire face for just the right brightness.
No troublesome shadows,
and the overall shot
is beautifully captured

Points of note
Because the light from the ring lite is close to the optical axis, red eye may occur.
when shooting
When this happens, avoid shooting close-ups of a face, and shoot away from the line of sight to avoid or reduce chances of red eye.
Utilize the flash to supplement the ambient light for more beautiful portraits
