Different DIY Mold Testing Kits to Choose From
I was particularly taken with the results Zack was getting with a monster Westcott 50 inch soft box. This particular soft box was based on a design I had not come across before and worked like a giant umbrella. The shaft of the umbrella mounted in the umbrella holder of the light stand and the softbox surrounded the flash. The bottom panel had a zip arrangement to allow the flash stand to pass through it and you accessed the flash controls by pulling away a section of the Velcroed in front diffuser.
The fine details of the design were not immediately apparent from the DVD, but a quick search on the internet turned up a blog post that showed the internal working of the soft box in all its glory. The same search also turned up a price from B&H Photo of (a not inconsiderable) US2.50 along with a shipping fee to Australia of US.75. Converted to Australian dollars that came to a grand total of roughly AU0.00. Someone may sell these directly from Oz, but I had no luck finding them.
Diy Conservatories ? How Do I Choose The Right Style For Me?
When I checked out the price of these diffusers I found they were a rather steep (for what amounts to a plastic lid for your flash). While waiting around in a fabric store the other day (my partner is a dress designer) I started poking around in the craft section. I came across some noodle boxes (of all things). There was a selection of paper ones in various sizes, but it was the fancy translucent plastic ones that caught my eye. For I could get a pack of ten and the small size looked to be a perfect fit for a small strobe. I grabbed a pack and when I got home, what do you know, they were a perfect fit.
I have included the build instructions in the comments although this is one DIY project that really does not take a lot of effort and can be completed in about two minutes! :
