DIY SBIII softbox

Last week, I found myself in urgent need of a softbox without time to order one. I ended up making my own version of the LumiQuest SBIII using some dead trees and an hour of work.

 

This is the first test shot. Obviously, the sides leaked a little light, which had to be resolved. The box worked wonderfully for the portrait shoot I had to do.

 

This shot was lit with an on-camera 430EX bounced off the ceiling. The pictured Vivitar 283 was triggered optically.
