Brief

Make a light ring that would mount on a Nikon D80 equipped with a lens capable of wearing a HB-32 hood.

Concept

36 white LEDs mounted on a ring of acrylic that would wedge onto the HB-32 hood (which has a mid-point diameter of ~80mm). The power source (4xAA batteries) would mount onto the Nikon D80's hot shoe mount along with brightness and off/on controls.
