Lightbulb Ever you do a thought to try this Diy lightscoop homemade with diy puffer.....

Question Ever you do a thought to try this Diy lightscoop homemade with diy puffer pop up flash diffuser?

Here is my own thoughts of answer:

I have two diy lightscoop of homemade and i want only one lightscoop with a aluminum foil and one other one to leave it white. I can use both diy lightscoop and diy puffer pop up flash. It is was pretty cool to learn.

Last to give you a tip: try to both diy lightscoop with homemade puffer pop up flash diffuser on both lightscoop to hold your hand (Two lightscoop to side together more like a puffer pop flash diffuser) On the top side is aluminum foil and on bottom side is leave white will make more like to diy puffer pop up flash.

Update: See the pictures at bottom that i did update!

Do you mean something like this: DIY built-in pop-up flash diffuser (soft screen)

I haven't yet, but I might when I get my dSLR.

I made a homemade lightscoop/diffuser out of a white plastic container and some aluminum foil. It works really well if the camera is in vertical orientation, so there is something to bounce the light off of It's great to learn with, but it's still nothing like off camera lighting.

Is it just me or does "pop up puffer" sound like some sort of sex act?

He wrote "puffer" not "fluffer".

Photography, those are cool mods, but most of us are crazy and do off-camera lighting, thanks to the Strobist. This is making portrait lighting set ups, where the lights are separate from the camera, and triggered by a cable, radio signals, or light signals.

If you have the money, you might want to think about getting a hotshoe flash (speedlight) to put on top of your camera, and learning how to do bouncing with the flash on-camera, or getting the flash off-camera with a stand and umbrella/softbox.
