I was up all night again, and thought of a new diffuser for better macro light. it is also adjustable for different lighting affects, (only if your flash head can tilt & swivel). start of with a pringles tube. http://i5.tinypic.com/4uurul0.jpg then cut of 2.5 inch of the top, (or you could experement with the length) http://i10.tinypic.com/4kzagib.jpg then cut a rectangle out the size of your flash end. http://i7.tinypic.com/5zcnvxx.jpg then take a disposable party bowl, or white paper, or similar item. cut out the same size as the pringles tub. http://i11.tinypic.com/5y15eyx.jpg then tape or stick on. Finished, or you could paint it any color you want lol. http://i13.tinypic.com/4kp66pg.jpg
now for demo. the adjustments are made by moving and tilting the flash head. http://i13.tinypic.com/66mpb3c.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/4vd1ts8.jpg http://i15.tinypic.com/4l57m8w.jpg http://i2.tinypic.com/6gcdxs4.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/66ctts9.jpg
now some quick test shots, all are on a quarter power setting on the flash. sunpak 383. now need bugs lol. aimed straight at it. http://i10.tinypic.com/6gciuc4.jpg now angled to the left 1 notch. http://i15.tinypic.com/4go9k45.jpg aimed straight at it. http://i18.tinypic.com/4umv6s5.jpg now angled 1 notch to the left. http://i6.tinypic.com/65z9kkl.jpg straight at it. http://i7.tinypic.com/5zp02lu.jpg from the left 1 notch. http://i8.tinypic.com/6292nue.jpg from the right 1 notch. http://i2.tinypic.com/505wbyx.jpg.
ALL pics were taken with a Raynox 250 and a panasonic FZ50. No PP was done, only resize for web and sharpend a touch, nothing else was done. A very cheap adjustable diffuser. Hope this is eather fun or a help for some. but I will be experementing with it, and I will spray it black, so i dont get funny lookes hehe.
