DIY flash diffuser made from a country time lemonade canister and foam koozie. The whole setup cost under $4 after tax. In my opinion, aside from the purple koozie, this is one of the more professional looking diffusers I have seen. Michaels didn't have any black koozies, and my almost 2 year-old kept nagging me to get the purple one. I may make a trip out to Joannas to see if they have black, instead.
My very cute and beautiful wife.

There are two types of enlarger: condenser and diffuser.
A condenser enlarger has a light source which is shone through two condensing lenses before passing through the negative, and the focusing lens.
A diffuser enlarger is more basic and consists of a box with a hole in one of the sides. the box is completely open on the bottom so light can hit the entire ground glass on the back of the camera. A light is shone into the hole, bounces around the diffuser and thus provides an even level of illumination onto the ground glass before passing through the negative and the focusing lens.
My plan was to build a diffuser box out of white foam core as it is quite reflective, but also pretty diffuse, so the light should get spread out quite well. I measured my box to cover the ground glass on the back of the camera.
A simple test shining a torch into the hole showed that I needed to light tight the box a lot, but also that an even (ish) light could be focused onto the floor.
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.

"Love, myths and other stories" is the exhibition celebrating the bimillennian of Ovidio (Rome, Scuderie del Quirinale) and dedicated to the life, work and legacy of Ovid.
Words and verses: this is what remains of Ovid. Even his face is known to us only through evocations in Mediaeval manuscripts and Renaissance books that provide us with imaginary likenesses: the poet appears on the frontispieces either standing or seated at his desk, represented according to the canons of a man of letters of the period, often wearing a laurel wreath.
More is known about Ovid's personality which can be construed from his vast literary output, and has come down to us in manuscripts, giving him the immortality that he himself prophesied at the end of Metamorphoses. The poet tackled all the main styles in literature, grappling with and mastering very different genres, modernizing both the content and the form.
The romantic elegy features in his poetry from the early years: in the “Amores” the poet writes of earthly love for young girls, matrons, slaves and freedwomen; in the “Heroides” he explores the feelings of the mythic heroines betrayed and abandoned by deceitful or simply inattentive lovers; he adopts yet another register for “Ars amatoria”, where passion and desire become the subject of an educational guide. He then went on to tackle civic and epic poetry, creating the poem that would make him famous for generations, the “Metamorphoses”. Ovid occupies a special place among the great poets of the Latin world for the size and variety of his literary production and his role in handing down the great tradition of classical mythology. Thanks to him the enthralling tales of the gods, heroes, youths and nymphs have been imprinted in our collective memory.
Through his poetry, the word that overcomes the oblivion of time, Ovid achieved the immortality he so desired.
Me vatem celebrate, viri, mihi dicite laudes,
cantetur toto nomen in orbe meum
[ars 2, 739~740]
Celebrate me the prophet, O ye men:
sing my praises, let my name be sung
in all the world
Me ev'ry youth shall praise, extol my name,
And o'er the globe diffuse my lasting fame.
Ovid was an acute observer of contemporary Rome. He wrote of made—up women, ardent lovers, assignations and the sybaritic pleasures of banquets and theatrical performance. He frequented the intellectual circles and the most exclusive salons in the city where his instructive playful approach was particularly appreciated, although it made him unpopular with the emperor, who was engaged in a campaign of moral reform. For a crime, the precise nature of which remains unknown, Augustus exiled the sophisticated interpreter of Greek and Roman myth to Tomis, present-day Costanta in Romania. His later years were marked by the pain of exile and the vain hope that his sentence would be reduced.

Mine diffuser for canon macro flash MT-24EX represent combinacion of diffuser's made by @Dalantech (www.flickr.com/photos/dalantech/), @SteB1 (www.flickr.com/photos/9578475@N02/) and @OrionMystery (www.flickr.com/photos/orionmystery/).
I used JJC-FC-26U Flash Diffuser + Gary Fong Puffer (hot glued them together), vellum paper - bubble wrap "sandwich" and plastic holder (cut from the 0,5l Coca Cola bottle).

Ladybird have shiny wings so it's a perfect specimen for diffuser test. I think diffusing flash light came out well :)
Last year, I had the chance to work with the Beach Tourism Monitoring Team (BTMT) of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). They are one of those guys responsible for the rehabilitation of Boracay Island. On this day, we went there to celebrate the anniversary of its rehab and to monitor its improvement and status. I was able to borrow a Digital SLR for that trip and having limited knowledge and experience with it, I opted for the easiest way for me; put it on manual settings just like how I would shoot with my Film SLR. :p I will be sharing some of my favorite shots and here is one of them.
Inexpensive diffuser. Made from an 8.5 x 11 piece of cover stock (67 lb white paper). Two cuts allow me to wrap the bottom of the card around the SB800 flash head and secure it with rubber bands. I can bend the paper to catch more of the light if needed.
This acts as a large area light source so the shadows it produces are softer. In Landscape orientation you get shadows below the subject, just like the SB800 with the white pop-up card, but softer. In Portrait orientation the shadows are to one side.
The card directs the light forward, not like plastic diffusers which send the light in all directions. If you don't bend the card to catch most of the light you can also have some bounce light from the ceiling (if it's low enough) which will help moderate shadows.

Normal diffuser- my coke can diffuser with 2 layers of diffusion gel over the front.
Objective was to get a diffuser which gave slightly more shadow than my normal diffuser but avoided the harsh small glare seen in the bare flash. I wanted this mainly for flower shots. Looks like beauty dish mk2 should be ok.
Will post a shot of the mk2 diffuser later

Taken with an old Box camera without a name. I used Kodak Porta 400 BW film. This is the best negative from that roll... :) Anyway, I kind of like this photo, despite the crappy quality.
More backlit stuff again. Decided to try some red wine. Shot this one at a bit too high of an angle so I had to crop the foot of the glass.. Already took apart the setup so I didn't really feel like washing the glass and taking a new shot =/
