no_surrender Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Let's see your DIY modifiers! I'd love to see your DIY mods for modifiers! Grids, flags, reflectors, anything....you name it, post it here. Wish I had one to contribute, but I don't which is why I'm asking YOU. The simplest one I can think of is something I saw on a Joel Grimes tutorial where he covered all but about two inches of a standard reflector with gaffer's tape. He left a vertical opening and placed it close to his subjects face to give a unique look. Thanks in advance for sharing! Kevin Nov 23, 2012 at 05:01 AM

PhotoDes Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Let's see your DIY modifiers! I'm glad you started this thread. Most threads are just "what to buy?" threads and there's very little discussion of experiments with light modification. I was after very soft light and wanted to use some inexpensive slave flashes and equipment on hand (umbrellas & diffusers). I poked a hole in a pop-up diffuser, slid it on to the umbrella shaft and mounted the flashes as I would normally for the umbrella. back view: front view (a clothes pin works to hold the diffuser in place): The light is doubly diffused since it goes through the diffuser, bounces off the umbrella surface (silver in this case) and then goes back through the diffuser. This configuration behaves like a large softbox (though very inexpensive -- about $50) because the diffuser keeps the light which is reflected off the umbrella surface from "spraying" into a large angle and the surface is very uniformly lit. Also, since the flashes are outside, they can be optically triggered very reliably. This illustrates the soft light: It's very portable and fast to set up. Des Dec 19, 2012 at 04:51 PM
