Homemade Softbox on the Road

15.5/365

This is the softbox used in the previous shot (15/365) "No Bratwurst Today". It's small - 30x20x30cubic cm. Diffusor is made of multiple layers of cellulose fibre non-woven material. The inside has a silver reflection surface made of a cut up aluminium packaging bag attached with the same adhesive tape you can see on the outside. The box is attached to the SB910 by sticking the flash through a hole in the bottom and securing it with a 2€ gel adapter I had. The whole thing is mounted on a light stand with the SB910 accessory foot screwed onto a Manfrotto light stand grip bit. As you can see it needed some extra adhesive tape to stay in the right position - but hey it's a prototype and I am most definitely no handyman!

Tomorrow I might try with a bigger box. Only a 5 minute build :)

Strobist: Nikon SB910 (in the box) Remote TTL triggered by built in flash.
