A coworker here was kind to let me borrow his flash diffusers. It does make a difference!

Had some old slides scanned recently and have been doing some basic stuff (contrast masking, curves) in Photoshop with them today. Photographed at Imperial Beach, CA.

You just have to stick that thing into that hole and ... well, you kids will figure it out.

why we found an American WWII era jeep in Tbilisi is not clear. But, given the weather, not a great day for a convertible of any kind. The image looked a little better when I ran it through Photoshop's "diffuser."

We offer a number of Reed Diffuser products so you can make your own at home. What better way to give a gift then to offer a handmade item. If you would like to Order please contact us at www.southerncrosscandles.com

Water, some milk and a lamp - that's the result!

For the 365 days group, day 77 and for those that find me too dark. Ha.

For the PSE group, Smart Fix and Diffuse Filter. Love the shadows of the hair on my forehead. That's part of the original shot.

And here's me taking a photo with said "makeshift" diffuser! maaarvellous

Diffused

This photo has little to no harsh shadows.

Here's a homemade device for diffusing direct sunlight for macro flower shots.

It's a piece of plexiglass fastened with velcro to a windshield wonder device. Then there's some diffusing fabric fastened with rubber bands. Then there's a second piece of diffusing material (foggy plastic), which can also be attached. I got the material from B & H for less than $10 per sheet ... enough for two diffusing devices. Thanks to Joel for the great idea in regards the handle!

This setup requires that you have your camera on a tripod and that you have some sort of remote shutter release; that way you have a free hand to position the diffuser. Wish it wasn't so overcast today or I would test it out with a before-and-after photo. Maybe later in the week.

My solstice gift to Xy. She was happy with it for a month at least.

Although this looks like water fountains, it's actually just a boisterous Lake Michigan busting up against the crenelated sea wall.

In this configuration, I cut out a piece of vellum and placed it inside the enclosure between the red LED and the backside of the front face of the enclosure. I think the diffusing effect looks much cleaner. I just used a piece of masking tape to hold the vellum in place, which you can see as a slightly darker area just above the Adobe logo. I will use a light layer of glue along the inside corners to affix the vellum more permanently. The glue shouldn't show up.
