A cheap Ebay softbox 60cm x 60cm with a homemade adaptor to enable me to use one or two speedlights, also packs up nice and small for transportation
Tonight I made myself a $3.95 softbox. Stiggy was lucky enough to be the first subject shot with it, since Erin was in bed, and Mikko wouldn't sit still.
The softbox is about 12" diameter, above camera right. Manual output (1/16) on an SB-600, triggered by CLS. I'm looking forward to using it for some portraits.
Trying out some ideas with my Lastolite Ezybox hotshoe, and a new 'mono' script I mashed together in CS4. My daughter happily (mostly) posed for some frames. Her hair looked awesome this morning, but by this frame it had dropped a little. It's grown so much...
Strobist info:
SB24 @ 1/8 through Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe camera left.
SB24 @ 1/16 through Lumiquest Softbox III high and camera right for the 'hair light'.
430EXII @ 1/32 through a Prokit Speedlight Snoot with honeycomb grid camera right.
42" silver reflector directly below her face for extra fill.
Triggered with Yunguo CTR-301P's.
Decided to build myself a 24 x 24 softbox this weekend...
$10 - Clamp light from Home Depot
$2.50 - Dual Light Socket
$3.00 - Black Duct Tape
$3.50 - 2 100W Daylight Balanced Fluorescent Bulbs
Free - Aluminum Foil
Free - Cardboard Box
Free - Black Spray Paint
? - Diffuser Material
Still need to pick a diffuser material, and find a better way to attach it to my old tripod. Then some test shots to see how well it works. Of course, since I've never used one before I ought to learn how to shoot portaits with it first....
Softbox stage Two.
poster board inner walls for shape, and to hold paper across front. inside of inner shell coated inside with tin foil. have shot several tests to see how even the light is and is best used with wide angle diffuser in place (550EX speedlite). foam sheet outer shell acts as part glove, part light restrict-er, part some thing to tape to the flash.

This is using just the soft box (gimme 5). Notice how much softer the shadows are compared to the shot without a softbox. The highlights are also less severe.
self portrait to try out the softbox i built from old newspapers and such. the reflection in the glasses doesn't look that great at all. still like it.
Interfit Super Cool Lite 5
The hardware is mostly made out of plastic so I probably wouldn't buy one for professional use where it would be moved and adjusted a lot. But for home/personal use, it's a bargain and works great. There are 5 "daylight" bulbs inside and you can control the power by turning off each light individually. These are the new energy efficient bulbs so they don't get hot.
Homebrew Portable Softbox in action
Simple tissue paper show flipped down to diffuse light form flash. Tissue paper can be wrapped and tucked around flash and held in place using a rubber band or tape.
Make an easy to build portable softbox
- cut a backing frame from a 1/2 gallon plastic milk jug
- shape the plastic to fit the rear of your flash, like a bounce card, narrow at the bottom and more flared out at the top
- line the front of the plastic with a reflective material. I used the shiny mylar material from a package of Nabisco oatmeal cookies. I attached the mylar using double-sided tape.
- tape down the edges of the mylar to the plastic using gaffers tape
- Attach the reflector to flash using rubber bands
- make a "flip down" diffuser using simple tissue paper or other diffusing material
The flash and portable softbox can be used on-camera or off-camera, One Light Strobist style.

slight hot-spot in the middle, I only learned later that real softboxes often have an "internal baffle" to avoid this.
My daughter bought me a soft box for Christmas. I made this little adaptor to mount one of my Vivitar 285's to it using less than $10 worth of parts from Home Depot.
Backdrop Black muslin, softbox left umbrella type with Metz 50 af-1, softbox right falcon eyes 450watt on stands, Rwandan fiber basket middle. My 24-105 works nice here :)

This is what a big budget photo shoot looks like. Really just me and my son playing around.
