I've been on a bit of a DIY rampage lately, and this is one of the things I've actually finished. Did this a few weeks ago but I figured it's time to show and tell.
It's a flash diffuser made from a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Why? Mostly to soften the harsh shadows created by using a flash. I found this tutorial to get me started, but after a little experimenting I think this shape/size seems to work the best. It's got enough surface area to illuminate an entire room if needed, but it's small enough to not take up much extra space in your camera bag. I also added some bits of velcro to keep it in place more snugly. Yeah, there are plenty of commercial products that do the same thing more consistently and reliably, but this will do for now.

Playing with off camera flash this morning, I caught this Anna's in the light. Both he and a male Costas have been vying for dominance over the feeder.
The Glocal Project is a massive contributive artwork. Two months before the launch of the project, we already have upwards of 8,000 submissions from more than 2,000 participants around the world.
One of the most challenging questions has been: how can we make sense of such a large collection of images?
These 'phylogenies' imagine how an anthropologist might attempt to build relationships between images in the Glocal Pool.
Through image analysis technology, each image in the pool is assigned a 'signature', which can be though of as the image's genome - the colours, composition, symmetry, etc. that define the image.
In these phylogenetic trees, pairs of images are 'bred' to produce offspring which could conceivably have been born from these parent images.
The result is a 'family tree' of images which attempts to invent a history inside of the large project pool.

Austin Convention Center lit up with portable flashes. Compare with this image for non-flash version. My friend Ryon and I put our RF transmitters and flashes to use!

This is a great shot as such but it's the first time use of my Orbis Ring Flash. Need to buy a handle when it comes out and a TTL cord

For some time now, I've been looking for something more secure than the standard cold shoe setup for my strobes and triggers. I never had confidence on the little cold shoe holders, especially when a using a flash mounted on a hot shoe mounted trigger. I saw a few solutions commercially but they seemed a little expensive for something so simple. I talked it over with my brother and we came up with this.
We started with a plastic kitchen cutting board. It's a very strong material and easy to work with. Once the plates were cut to the desired size, he cut spacers to give room for the thumb screws. Holes were drilled for the various mounts. The version seen here is mounted to a standard umbrella swivel with the cold shoe removed. The plate was secured to the swivel using the original cold shoe screws and holes. Loctite was added to make sure the screws stay in place. The Velcro strap was sandwiched between the top plate and spacer. A layer of dense neoprene foam cut from a gardening cushion was then adhered to the plate. The second version is mounted to a standard brass spigot so that it can be used on any standard swivel.
This feels so much more secure now! There's less stress on the hot shoe of flash and trigger. It just feels more solid. It also places the flash closer to the center of the umbrella for a more even spread of light.
Total spent was about $30 for 4 mounts (two on swivels and two on spigots). All parts were sourced locally except for the swivels which I already had. The ready made ones run about $40 each so it was worth the effort. They are definitely more solid on the light stand then before.
Fluffy Skirts - Reclined (B&W): More practice is needed with flash photography, this setup took far too long to get dialed in. Godox AD200s in 30x120 softboxes left and right, with a Godox V1p in a Neewer 65cm softbox front left for fill light.
