Ring flashes -just say no...

A ring flash, no matter how you use it, is going to produce light that looks "flat" because the flash heads are too close to the lens and parallel to the sensor. Get a standard camera flash and put it on an off camera bracket (do not leave it camera mounted) or get a macro twin flash and lose your mind diffusing it...
