My best snoot yet.
Materials: strobe head and paint can (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgolbe/5784513864), cookie tin cover, cylindrical salt container, toiler paper roll, two eye hooks, Cinefoil (or black construction paper or flat black paint), tape and glue.
After being unsatisfied with the "spot" quality of previous snoots, useful thought they are, I decided there must be a reason the professional snoots are all made with a step-down design, with several cylinders of decreasing diameter.
A little googling and I knew why they did it. With matte black interiors, the light entering the last cylinder is all coming directly from the source; none is coming in at an angle, thus none is bouncing out (even off matte black) at an angle.
The proof is in the pudding. In the middle shot I've artificially made the snoot visible at the right edge. It would also be visible in the frame of the bottom shot, but I did no artificial enhancing.
In the top shot the exit of the snoot looks white because the strobe is firing. With my eye hooks tightened down the cookie tin makes a good seal with the paint can and there are few leaks.
Notice the nice edge of the lit area; the contrast is sharp and well over 20 stops.
Mine nye Cactus V2s skulle testes sammen med samlingen af strobes
My new Cactus V2s was testet with my collection of strobes (Vivitar and some vintage strobes)
My first off-camera flash effort. New year, new strobe-friendly me.
I'm still bamboozled by the technicalities, and haven't tried wireless. These new year's eve photos were taken using a cable.
Strobist info: flash in my left hand, rear curtain mode, turned down to -2. A bit more power might have helped the skin tones, but I'm very glad that it worked at all (and that I didn't get thumped for intruding on their moment).
strobist info: umbrella camera right, bare speedlight camera left

What we look like after boughts of strenuous physical activity. Changes in appearance are readily apparent. Thinning and glistening of the skin, the apparent facial volume has depreciated! The approach to composition is different and interesting as well.
First attempt at a balloon-burst photo using the High Speed Photography Kit, courtesy of Make: magazine.
A soldering iron provided the perfect ballon-popping implement.
Just a close-up shot of the top of the "strobe" packs used in the golf Power Fashion shot. "made in England" - not something you see very often these days.
