A couple of images of the DIY 30" soft-box I just build/blogged. Now I need to find a chance to get some images WITH this softbox.

I used my large soft box as a light table. So I turned it upside down, placed a pice of clear plexiglass on top of the fabric diffuser, dropped the flower on it, set my SB800 to SU mode so the photogenic 1250 in the softbox would trigger it, held the SB800 shooting into a small softbox over the flower and I shoot with a Nikon D300/50mm lens at ISO 100, F16 and 1/250 shutter
Testing various subjects after I've made my first DIY softbox. The setup is:
1. DIY softbox with 24W flourescent bulb on the left,
2. 3x white sheets of A4 paper for reflection on the right
3. 100x70cm sheet of black paper as background

Photoshop: unsharp mask on stubble and eyes, cloned some hair, gaussian blur on some skin, and levels under the eyes.
Flickr faded the colours a bit...
Yesterday the weather forecast said to expect the hottest October 1st for ages. In fact our day was overcast and eventually rainy. Great!
Since it was so grey outside, today's shot was taken indoors: this is one of the bunch of flowers my daughter got to brighten up her room. Lighting is from a single softbox above.
8 ribs, meaning two crosses. We'll only need one...
DIY Softbox out of umbrella, for the blog.
Lit by SB-24 and white umbrella
This image shows what happens when you place a flag in front of the softbox. This image was not exposed properly, but the main thing to look at is how much more diffused the light became and therefore the shadow was softer.
I butchered a £2 soft box from ebay and put a bent bit of plastic at the end from a drinks bottle. I lined the inside of the soft box with relective sheeting and on the back of the bent plastic I attached a triangular shaped reflector to bounce the flash away from the centre to avoid a hotspot. It seems to work quite well but needs more testing. I've only just started testing it out, with good results but it's quite awkward to remove from the flash without warping its shape.
I built a softbox with an old box and a piece of wax paper. The flash was on a tripod to camera left and triggered with cactus unit. Flickr user, Ericson www.flickr.com/photos/alas26/ ,inspired me to build the box. Now I just need to keep working with it.

I took another piece of cardboard, put a hole in it just big enough for the socket, then slipped the socket in and used ample hot glue to hold the two together.
Well I just got myself a softbox after Maw7372 inspired me the other day, so thank you maw7372.
So here I am with a ridiculous self portrait, as I had no victims on friday night that were still awake in the household, and after a bottle of wine it seemed like a good idea. So for anyone that know's me please have a laugh at my expense!

This was just a test shoot, something to improve upon.
Clamshell lighting, but I had two reflectors, one in front and one to the side (his left). Small softbox on top. No light on the collapsible background, which should have been further back. A bit heavy on the vignette, to make it look more like an old fashioned studio shot.
Thank you Sandy for recommending this umbrella. I am having fun playing w/ it. I will post pics that I used this in tomorrow. :)
