Ouch ouch. 3 days later and still quite lovely. This is what I get for using earth friendly Dr. Bronner’s soap in an earth friendly refillable soap dispenser, which tends to develop a little plug of soap, and which was ejected directly into my eye. Earth friendly but not eye friendly…
this nice photograph was taken with a ring light… more precisely a ring of LEDs. I got the idea from this article https://hackaday.com/2009/11/16/led-ring-light/ then tracked down one of these https://web.archive.org/web/20100712143502/http://www.dealextreme.com:80/details.dx/sku.26001~r.85832721 and it works quite well even without a diffuser. It is a little blue biased with my camera, but the illumination is nice and even and super macro focused far more easily than usual.
