Inside the "Dog Run" house at Dallas Heritage Village.
One of the homes in Dallas Heritage Village. Here is a paraphrase from the website:
"Living Breathing Texas History"
Set on 13 wooded acres just south of downtown, Dallas Heritage Village is a living history museum portraying life in North Texas from 1840-1910 utilizing an extensive collection of historic buildings and furnishings representing the period. The museum is composed of 38 historic structures & boasts a working Civil War era farm, a traditional Jewish household, elegant Victorian homes, a school, a church & commercial buildings.
The diffuser was mounted so low it would make a scraping noise every time the car entered the Karussell. I was half expecting it to fall off, but it didn't.
This photo is by no means anything perfect but that was not my intention.
I finally got a flash diffuser.
So now I can take better photos in the dark and when I need some fill light (:
Also.
I took this picture the night I got back from singing at Open Mic at a restaurant/bar. I listened to the song by ear and picked up on it in about 20 minutes, left with my mom, practiced about 2 times and went onstage. There were only about 20 people there so I felt a little better. I got lots of compliments so I felt really good. I even got requests to come back next week and with even more material! So, I'm glad I grew a pair and did it. (:
I will try and post the video.
If it doesn't work... you can find it here on my facebook.
I first had butter paper as diffuser in mind.But the problem with butter paper was,you have to apply it layer by layer.So you apply a layer,take a shot,check the diffusion.Less diffusion,add more paper.More diffusion?Less paper.
Instead I chose this.its a bio foam square dish.Here in my place we get nice cherry tomatoes in these.I had kept it way back preserved then not knowing what to do with it until now.This thing we can get in plastic/stationery shops.
I took this for 2 reasons.
1.its depth is perfect for me.Not too much and not too less.
2.This provides a bit of warmth in the flash light unlike usage of butter paper which gives a cool look.
Glue this on the support bars on the open side.Apply a thin layer at first.
Gently press the dish on the support system.If there any gaps,put some more glue and gently press on it.It will stick.Give it 5-10mins to completely dry off.
We are very close now...Next step.
Next And Complete Set.
A photograph of smoke swirls from a blown-out tea candle. I'm rather proud of this, despite it being one of those hit-or-miss once-in-a-lifetime shots. Taken with the 18-55mm at 55mm on manual focus.
Managed a quick setup in my bathroom with some black cloth attached to the mirror, and a tea light. Used a 100-watt steel lamp for lighting.
I see some kind of human-like creature...thighs at the bottom, an arm to the right, the body and head...anyways, I think it looks cool. Haha. Anyone else see it?
This last prototype uses Carbon fiber strips like a dome tent, white ripstop nylon for the diffuser (and the inside surface), and black duck cloth. The connection is made with 12gauge aluminum armature wire
The carbon fiber strips allow the diffuser to collapse for storage.

This was a lighting assignment, and this shot used diffused natural light through a curtain to soften shadows and evenly light the subject.

This second prototype eliminates the redirection, since it didn't really work that well and made the thing huge. I also changed the mounting so that it connects to the flash shoe. Lastly, the diffuser material is now ripstop nylon.
At Sherdley Park again last Monday, i walked past the deserted play area. I liked the way the frost had diffused/desaturated the colours on this climbing frame.

This is my macro rig .. To use the EF-S 60mm on my full frame 5DMKII I've fitted a EF12 II Extension Tube (stops it breaking internals) I add the EF25II when I want to get real close.
The diffuser panels were removed from broken LCD panels (the backlight section) where I work. They do a great job diffusing the light and simply held in place with an elastic band.

This was taken using a torch and an ornament from my house, I don't think you can get much more low tech than that.
The inside is lined with HVAC tape, and there are 3 spaced layers of 100% nylon trim fabric. This material does not block much light, but it sure does spread it out. 3 layers gets good results, and you can see that with the pictures on this page.
There are many unique details about this diffuser, so I've posted a fuller description of it at:
