Portrait of a friend in Tampa at sunset on top of the building where she works. She wanted to "do something" so I let her play the role of 'chatty girl with phone'. This was made at the end of a day learning about using one light to make interestingly lit portraits. I had to take several to get her look right - she's picky that way.
Also, got the adjacent building's 'uplight' coming around through her hair for a touch of kicker.
Flickr contact earthwaterfireair's photos inspired me on this one. She is constantly pushing her creative side.
A little mist was hanging in the trees while hiking on Fromme. It didn't matter which way or trail we chose, the exploring was fun.
Una delle più diffuse orchidee selvatiche in Italia.
È una pianta erbacea alta 10-35 cm, con fusto cilindrico di colore verde, violaceo verso la sommità .
L'apparato radicale è composto da due rizotuberi rotondeggianti.
Le foglie sono da ellittiche a lanceolate; quelle basali sono riunite a rosetta mentre quelle cauline inguainano il fusto. Le brattee sono lanceolate, verdi, talora macchiate di porpora alle estremità .
I fiori, di colore dal rosa al viola (ma non sono rare le forme albine), sono riuniti in infiorescenze oblunghe, più o meno dense. I sepali sono ovato-oblunghi, i petali un po' più stretti. Il labello, leggermente trilobato, con labello mediano più grande dei laterali, ha margini crenulati; la parte centrale è in genere più chiara e presenta una punteggiatura violacea. Lo sperone è cilindrico, orizzontale o ascendente, più corto dell'ovario. Il ginostemio è a becco corto, con logge dell'antera color porpora e masse polliniche verdastre.

Trying something a bit different with ENB and SweetFX, kinda washy but I like it. :P
This is the diffuser that i use for my macro photography. I just it on my Yongnuo 565ex flash.
Material used
- Take away food container
- Aluminum foil
- Tape
- Foam (Came wrapped around my flash box to protect it in mail)
- Fabric (Some prints i got done came wrapped with this stuff)
So i have traced around the flash head onto the bottom of the container with a marker and cut it out. I have put tape around the edge of the cut out (stop scratching accuring on the flash head when i take the diffuser on and off ). Next i lined the inside with aluminum foil. Ive then put the lid on the container, layed the fabric over the outer side of the lid and taped it down. The fabric is 2 layers thick and last i inserted the piece of foam into the container and pushed it agianst the roof of the lid and thats it !!
Hope that made sence if you have any Questions feel free to comment
Also check out this diffuser on the setup i use. www.flickr.com/photos/kelby_douglas/6592390501/

Cut from a plastic binder and made to fit in the camera's hot shoe, in this case on a D80. It folds back on itself and locks together.
Cost? Not very much. The A4 plastic binder was $2.20. I made this diffuser plus a couple of diffusers for regular flashes from just half of the material.
Although the outside of the box is covered in black paper or fabric, inside it's still white foamcore.
Poor man's diffuser. Cut the bottom out of a milk carton. Place over light source, good with hardware store LED'S, for a great diffuser.
Inside of the diffuser with aluminium foil on top and bottom of the inside to encourage the light to go round the bend :)
Just got my Sigma 500 super dg flash back from repair (started behaving oddly after about 30000 shots) which meant I have two flashes ,two camera bodies,2 macro lenses but only one flash bracket. So decided to try and do a diffuser for a camera mounted flash gun with the aim of diffusing the light plus reducing the amount of power used in each flash (for quick cycle times). Did my normal plastic milk bottle, duct tape, aluminium foil, kitchen towel quick and dirty job. Much to my suprise seems to have achieved both objectives :)

Model: Kristel de Sera
Lens: Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM on full frame.

Postprocessing: Some local adjustment curves, some local cloning, greyscale conversion, toning, added grain.

Essential Oil diffusing jewelry set! I have finally finished this new design. I am so happy with it.

If you want to check your home-made diffuser's reflections, the best idea is to shoot a jumping spider from frontal view. Their eyes are the best bulging mirrors in the world of arthropods.

A number of images in my photo archive were taken using this cheap flash diffuser and the camera's pop-up flash. The plastic dish is from a Marie Callender "Fresh Flavor Steamer" frozen dinner. Here it's rigged up as a kind of soft-box or shoot-through flash diffuser for using with the pop up flash on the camera. Behind the dish is a Nikon D40. The arms of the support bracket are screwed to the tripod mount of the camera with a knob having a 1/4-20 thread. Reading lights are used to support clips for holding the dish. I don't need or use the lights... just the "goose-neck" material and the light's mounting clips. The primary lens is a Nikon 70-210mm zoom AF lens, with the focus locked at infinity with the green rubber band. The lens with the silver barrel peeking out of the lens shade is the "common objective" from a junk American Optical "Cycloptic" stereo microscope (NOT reversed). Focusing is done manually, simply by moving the rig forward and backward and shooting as the subject passes through the zone of maximum sharpness.

NOTE: This early version of my macro set-up has been replaced with an updated rig using a cut-down, lens-mounted diffuser, and a bracket using threaded rods to support reflector cards. The diffuser and reflector cards can be used separately, or together depending upon your lighting requirements.
The next step to improving light leakage was to make, out of black fabric, a sleeve to go over the hole in the side of the box and a skirt around the base. I'd noticed that my diffuser didn't quite sit flush onto the back of the camera so the skirt helped with that.

This is a very simple, but very effective diffuser I have used for a most of the images taken with the 100mm macro lens you see on my Photostream this year. I was intending to write it up but haven't got round to it. These photos describe it.

Around twelve exposures were taken in bulb mode and blended in photoshop.
I had thought of purchasing a Gary Fong Light-sphere Diffuser, for my Canon 480EX Flash; however, these cost in the region of £40.
The Sto-Fen OM-EW Omni Bounce Flash Diffuser works reasonably well, but for Macro and Portraiture, I still found it a little harsh.
The addition of the Sainsbury's Milk carton really works wonders.
Well, how well does it work; take a look!
