Got a New Ring Light

Apparently looking Crispy

I do love new equipment days. Today my new Ring Light arrived and I a planning on doing another year of daily vlogs. Now that I have a bigger audience on YouTube I figured I’d work on growing that some more with additional content. For a while now my content has pretty much been all about Fortnite. I enjoy it and it has been bringing people to come and subscribe but that isn’t the only thing that I want the channel to be about.

So the Ring Light is HUGE! It has all of these hot shoe slots so that I can attach my camera, a cell phone and more. It is actually much righter than my umbrella lights that I use for making gaming videos. I can adjust this, too by turning it up or down or increasing or decreasing the warmth of the light. So, I can go for super bright white to a warm yellow.

This ring light will come in handy when I am making unboxing videos, too. The umbrella lights are good but don’t throw enough light all the way out to the futon. When I unbox some things I need that extra light out further. This will work very well for that.

We got some disappointing news yesterday. Eva was a close contact with a positive COVID-19 case. So she, Andy and Allison are all out of school for the next few days and that means that none of us can attend karate for a while. That means that Eva’s graduation tomorrow night will go on without her. She’s pretty upset about the whole thing. I can’t blame her.

I came home today to find that my Gary Fong Flip*Cage arrived. I was talking to Scott from Shuttercal the other day about this product and during our conversation I ordered it. We were also talking about our year of BenSpark and Shuttercal. In 2010 I’ll be a guest blogger for Shuttercal and I’ll be talking more and more about the service (which is free) to you here. If I could have created a Photo-A-Day interface Shuttercal would have been it.
