Default $10 Beauty Dish
I decided I needed a beauty dish, but did not want to spend a couple hundred on one. I made this one out of a 18" (ok, it is 4 inches smaller than standard) bamboo salad bowl, a junction box cover and a speed ring I had. I will have to play with it today to see what I get....

very nice, but that speed ring ups the cost significantly.....
But it gives me an idea....

Great idea and execution Scott, but now you will be faced with tossing your salad in your camera bag

Oy! Hold the dressing, please.

Nicely done, Scott. Looks like you're getting great results, too!
