DIY Macro Flash Diffuser.

I put together a DIY home made flash diffuser yesterday out of off cuts of correx, aluminium tape and duct tape.

All folds down flat, with polystyrene packaging foam clipped on the end for diffusing the light from the flash:


And I had quit a fun macro session today in a local woodland :slight_smile:

Good fun!

Although I think I may work on MarkII version, as I felt the diffuser stuck out too far from the lens, more of an issue when taking photos of insects in undergrowth etc.
