"I am creating the illusion of diffused lighting in the setting of this painting by placing the well-lit character (that is saturated in color) in a darker room. Mars black is a relatively opaque color that will give good coverage on a white canvas, another option is ivory black." ~Tomitheos
STEP 3
Diffused lighting occurs when the light is filtered, this can be achieved in the painting's setting by softening the shadows, darkening the colors, and by eliminating stark contrasts..

Here I did change the camera setup, but only the shutter speed, to compensate for a bit less light due to diffusers.
The key areas are marked with arrows:
- strong shadows
- light source reflections
- strong contrasts
Both pictures are a bit edited this time.
I am finished with testing. I hope you find these three pictures useful. Please share your thoughts and alternative methods if you've got any.
New diffuser. Idea from SteB on juza forum. www.flickr.com/photos/9578475@N02/
A variation of SteB's cup diffuser.

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.
Constructed from 340gsm paper, sticky back plastic and some silvered foam. Front panel is .3 mm clear plastic with packing foam stuck to the inside.
Mass Effect 3, Cinematic ENB with (Further) reduced Grain and new palette, SweetFX 1.4 (SMAA, Lumasharpen, DPX, Liftgammagain,Tonemap,Vibrance,Curves,Dither)
Trying something a bit different with ENB and SweetFX, kinda washy but I like it. :P
No.1 Diffuser and steelwork around the higher level of No.3 Diffuser Conveyor at far end. All juice pumps installation and troughs ready for connecting.
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.
View back towards the B Shredder from No.3 Diffuser Conveyor. Mill building on left engineering offices and a very old fig tree at top left.
Although the outside of the box is covered in black paper or fabric, inside it's still white foamcore.
Essential Oil diffusing jewelry set! I have finally finished this new design. I am so happy with it.
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 :)

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.
Canon EOS 5D + Canon MP-E 65/2.8 + Minolta T-2400 twin flash + DIY diffusers (slightly cropped)
This is the diy setup I've been using the last month or two. Much lighter than the other crazy contraption, and I like the light it puts out. Plus, it's a rolled up plastic For Sale sign!
Part of the inside is lined with some reflective paper, and the diffusion material is from a cheap paper-like drop cloth.
Now that it works, maybe I'll try to make it look a little better. :)
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.
