Can I see your beauty dish portraits?

Thinking about adding a beauty dish to my collection. I would love to see what you have done with a beauty dish and please do tell me what brand it is. Thanks!

@jyokota @homeschoolmom A beauty dish is a photographic lighting device that uses a parabolic reflector to distribute light towards a focal point. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_dish)

Oh cause I was thinking, oh that's my problem...I don't have a beauty dish;-).

[Wendy]

@altadc -- I have a lot to learn! I read your message twice, pronounced each word correctly, yet I had no clue what it meant, but your link helped!

I have no beauty dish image to show, obviously! But looking forward to seeing what others have done.

I lit up when I saw the term "beauty dish" thinking that anything that would make me more attractive when taking photos would be fabulous. Now I see it is a light source and I'm still lighting up about it. I want one too!!!

[Leslie]

@photohoot LOL

[Paula McLaughlin]

@mzzhope Haaha--I thought the same thing, Hope! I had no idea that kind of light source was called a "beauty dish". That's what I love about this place--I learn something new every day!
