This is the Weekly view of my DIY planner I designed and printed at home. For years I'd used every planner system on the market - Covey, Day-Timer, Time Design - you name it - I've used them. Gets quite expensive after so many years! So, I took all the best ideas from every system and incorporated them all into my own page design. Hope you like it! This is my first photo so I apologize if the quality's a little off. There are various other sections and forms I've created which I hope to post soon if anyone is interested. On a final note, I've been browsing everyone's planner pics for a long time now and am SO glad there are others out there with the same passion for planners and paper that I have.
My first attempt at the DIY Bokeh wall. Switched to one of my most treasured items. A custom-made Star Wars Imperial Crest in a ring made of stainless steel, ceramic and black diamond. One further addition, the Darth Vader laser pointer I usually use to play with the cats.
DIY flash bounce, I used the template from this tutorial.
Just printed out the template and cut the foam thing to shape and glued the wide flexible band to it with contact adhesive to keep it in shape and for easy attaching to the flash. It took about 15-20 minutes to do and most of it went to waiting the glue to dry.
The second picture is just to show how small it goes for the camera bag. Total cost was less than 1€ so it was very much worth it and it works great.
ASP 400 S is a panchromatic halftone aerial negative film, which I bought not realising it comes unperforated—with no sprocket holes. So the only camera I can shoot it with is a DIY cardboard pinhole camera.
I finally got fed up with my flatbed scans and decided to try camera scans. Because of my wedding work i have most of the equipment I need except the light source and a copy stand. The light source was easy enough, the cinestill cslite I picked up and it seems to do the job just fine but the copy stand was a different matter - too expensive or not too expensive but obviously garbage. Of course I turned to YouTube and found this really simple and inexpensive build and it seems to work great.
The Build:
15x21 bamboo cutting board as the base $20
half inch galvanized pipe, 24 inch length as the post. $11.30
Mounted to the base with a floor flange. $8.37
Wood screws x4 (pack of 10) $4.00
total cost = $43.67
Manfrotto clamp with a 3/8 to 1/4 inch adapter and my Benro ballhead attached. (already owned).
Camera: Canon r6 with 100mm f2.8 macro lens
I'm sure you already knew all this because I'm always late to the party and my desk is a mess.
You're welcome.
Don't drink and drive. It could blur your vision.
I have updated my DIY camera lens tutorial with the details of the lens and aperture used for this shot.
Thanks to Muddyrabbit and his awesome bracket, this Polaroid Automatic 100 and Holga 120N are now one.

he made this "motorbike" himself, has another 5 at home. Interesting design... maybe better than my Solex from 1977. Thanks for the opportunity to do this photograph.

I always have a challenge finding comfortable shoes and when I find them they are not as cute as I want them to be. So I thought why not spice up the boring shoes myself?
I used some cool lace ribbon and beads for these comfy flats,
and I love how they turned out!
Ribbon from Mokuba.
Fossil Messenger bag with photo inserts as a DIY bag for my Fujifilm X setup. I can put Fuji Xpro-1 with 56 1.2, Fuji XE-1 with 23 1.4, Fuji 35 1.4 and Fuji 60 2.4. I can also put the Fuji EF-X20 and an Ipad Air. I tried so many bags but this I really fell in love with it.
(This photo explains real simple how this DIY Monitor ringlight is supposed to work...)
Hello there folks,
How are you?
My name is Sebastien and i subscribed specialy because i had to share this great idea...
It's the most simple Do it Your Self Ringlight there can possible be!
I didn't see this idea around anywhere on Flickr and i searched alot for these things so if i am right i might set a new trend here.
Here's the thing: a friend of mine showed his new 23inch apple monitor and talked about how bright it whas and how it almost functioned as a lamp to light his room with, and demonstrated it to me in the dark.
I had my new Canon 30D with me and all the sudden i thought, yup, it's big, it's bright... Hey! it's a great candidate for a ringlight.!
So we quickly created some white shapes on black backgrounds and played around with these and we had some GREAT results!
Later on when i whas alone at my moms place, i whas sitting behind her old 15inch CRT monitor and thought: would the same trick work with this small thing? Well... here are the results of that session and of other sessions too, so judge for yourself.
You want to do this too?
There are some things you must know first though.
A monitor is in the end not THAT bright, so you need a dark room with as litle other light as possible.
You also must have a camera with good ISO performance, i shot this pictures on ISO 1600, and trust me, you will need it, shutter speeds are sometimes way below 1/30.
A fast lens, with a minimal F2.8 will help you here as well, and a good lowlight autofocus too, there is always manualfocus ofcourse.
Then when you match the most of these requirements there is only one thing left to do:
Point your camera at your face with it's back facing the monitor in the middle of your DIY ringlight shape , hold very still and say:... Cheese!!!
I Added some "Monitor Ringlights" (as i call them), so you can take of right away.
So have fun, it's the easiest way to find out what a ringlight will do to your pictures.
Greetings,
Sebastien,

You will need :
1 x Stainless steel small-hole sink filter
1 x inexpensive filter with the needed diameter
Tools
1 x electric driller (I used an electric screw driver)
1 x scissors for metal
1 x permanent marker
8mm, 7mm and 4 mm drill bits
Black paint
Process
1. Unscrew the ring that hold the glass on the filter and remove the glass from the filter frame.
2. Put the filter frame over the sink filter and mark a circle using the inner part.
3. Enlarge the central hole of the sink filter with the 8mm drill bit. 6 to 10mm drill bits will work too.
4. Enlarge external holes with the others drill bits, you can experiment for desired results holding the sink filter in front of the camera lens and shotting. I made 4mm holes on the fist circle and 7mm holes on half of the holes of the external circle.
5. Once you get the results you wanted cut the external part of the sink filter with the scissors and then adjust it to fit on the filter frame.
6. Paint it black (optional) and mount it on the filter frame using the ring.
7. Enjoy it at maximum aperture!
By the way, I used a 50mm lense at f1,8. I do not think it will work with lenses with apertures smaller than f3,5.
PS please take this as a starting point to experiment, and not as a final point!
Canon 7 panoramic modification with Bronica 50mm f2.8, coupled rangefinder, 24x65mm frame, DIY. Thanks John for the donation!
I'm kinda' a DIY sorta' guy, and so I really enjoy building my own sorts of lighting devices, clamping/mounting systems, along with doing some basic electronic modifications. All of this is quite in line with the whole Strobist way of thinking and working, and I've been meaning to post some of my DIY builds onto Flickr for some time. What you see above is a simple lil' device that's turned out to be amazingly handy for me -- insanely handy at times -- and It's also pretty dang' cheap to build (about $2.20). Five of these suckers in the kit bag costs less than a pound of (good) coffee.
Basically, what I have here is a clamp that's strong enough to hold some fairly heavy lighting gear, and a long enough spud sticking out of the clamp so that an umbrella stand/hot shoe mount can be screwed down onto it. I regularly mount my small Chimera Soft Box onto this clamp, a Photoflex hot shoe mount, a Vivitar 285 (with either E-bay trigger or Pocket Wizard), etc, etc...
All of the parts for this (or very similar parts) can be found at Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, whatever... You might have to do a bit of poking around in order to find the most important part of this set-up (the "coupling nut"), though you'll likely discover all sorts of other fun and interesting stuff while wandering around. Here's the full parts and price list:
Home Depot "Greenie" Clamp -- $.99
One inch long, 5/16th Coupling Nut -- $.80
One-and-a-quarter inch, 5/16th-20 bolt -- $.24
**Note** I was just e-mailed and told that a 5/16th bolt has an "18 thread, not a 20."
Two Flat Washers -- $.12
One Split Washer (a/k/a: "locking washer") - $.05
Construction of this should be fairly obvious once you have all the parts together, though some drilling (with a 5/16th bit) will be necessary in order to get the bolt through the handle of the clamp.
All in all, this is quite similar to a clamping device that Mr. Strobist (David Hobby) used in his "Speed Lighting a Gym" tutorial, though I do think that the use of the coupling nut is a bit of an improvement. The hexagonal design of the nut keeps any sort of object that's mounted onto the clamp from shifting or spinning around.
Here's a link to Strobist's "Speedlighting a Gym" article:
strobist.blogspot.com/2007/02/on-assignment-speedlighting...
Myself, I've included some real world examples of the clamp in use along with this posting. Just click through the slideshow for the next two images.
*****************December 10th -- A Quick Heads Up*****************
For those of you who have an interest in some of the other DIY gear that I've been working on, I have a very brief posting on my blog (doesn't everyone have a blog these days?) in which I show a really crappy photo of a new strobe mount that I've just built -- a flexible strobe mount with a big clamp at one end of the arm. If the "click link" above doesn't work, here's how to find my blog:
www.theglobalphotographer.blogspot.com
I'll end up writing quite a bit more material about the flexible strobe mount in just a few more days -- still doing a shakedown cruise with it -- for the moment, what I have up on the blog is sorta' a sneak preview

I finally built my own Beautydish =)
seems to work pretty good...
The following side gave me some inspiration:
ishootshows.com/2010/02/09/music-photographers-diy-beauty...
...but instead of a stainless steel bowl I used a plastic bowl and some other variations.
Total cost: about 25€
Ask me, if you have any questions...
This is my DIY Beauty Dish. It is 18" and made from a pressed bamboo
bowl I found at a pottery store. I blogged the details of how I built
it on LightandPixels.com.
Strobist info: uh, well, shot with using a SB600 hand held through a Lumiquest III soft box mostly. That last shot though was just the beauty dish aimed back at me with it's SB800 in side.
I have been wanting to do something with those little bits of hair I have left over from re-roots and it is always helpful to have actual samples of hair color since so often the doll hair sites have poor pictures. So, I made some very simple hair swatches. While they are aren't the prettiest they are useful especially when I forget what color I used and want to use it again! I have not used all the colors at RD at this point I have about 22 colors.
Here is what you need :
Stapler
Index Cards/ Construction Paper
Rubber Bands
Marker
Hole Punch
Ring to hold cards
Steps:
1. Cut hair sample to the length you desire.
2. Wrap Rubber Band around the end of the hair.
3. Cut index card in half.
4. Fold index card card in half, insert hair
.
5. Staple hair into card, try to staple as close to the area surrounded by rubber band to keep secure.
5. Hole punch the corner of the card.
6. Place ring into hole, organize as you please.
7. Label hair sample with marker.
DIY Studio Lighting Panel:
Made from: 4x 10' lengths of 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC pipe, 8x 90deg. shoulder couplings, and 6x tees.
Can function as:
- Adding a sheet of white muslin and placing lightsource behind makes a 4' x 7' softbox/diffusion screen.
- Adding a sheet of white rip-stop nylon (the stuff used in flags and parachutes) makes a very large scrim.
- Adding a sheet of black muslin makes a reductive source to create shadow.
- Adding a sheet of a light-colored, shiny material (such as a white shower curtain) and placing opposite key light makes a really good (and big) reflector/bounce.
- Can even be laid flat under subject and used as a bounce for chin shadow.
Supplies cost $22 and took 1.5 hours to build.
