figured i'd put up some pictures of my DIY flash diffuser
here's the original link for the inspiration:

but then stumbled upon this one which even has a template you can use:

i sort of combined the two versions and this was the result:
front
back
on the flash
for some reason i didn't think of taking a picture with it all on the camera. ah well, but here's what the flash looks like on the camera (taken with my camera phone)
the diffuser defintely helps push light in the right direction and makes a huge difference. i've only messed around with snapshots in my living room so nothing worth posting, but for a total cost of maybe $3 (which is enough materials for two diffusers) why the hell not.
cheers
