Default My little flash diffuser
Being a beginner, I'm not investing a whole lot of money into the craft as of yet, but I did buy a pop up flash diffuser and I'm somewhat happy with the results thus far. Any feedback?

Nice Job. The first and 3rd are my favorites. Did you use the flash on your second shot?

The minimal simplicity of No 3 is quite captivating. Remarkable to think that a fine work of art can be created out of so little. Only a photographer can do that I think. Great stuff Tara. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks. PAUL

As Paul said - the simplicity is what makes this. If you can make the ordinary look good like this, I look forward to seeing more

Well done, Tara. That first one is very unique. Lots of folks do flowers. The gentle touching in the first is gorgeous! Excellent exposure and composition! TFS

Tara, the lighting in your first is soft and diffused, not the kind of harsh lighting one would normally get from an on-camera flash.

Nicely done on all of them.
Can I ask which diffuser you use? I've seen several online, they get mixed reviews. I too am looking at things that don't cost too much...

Yes, I did. I was so excited to get this little piece of plastic in the mail that I flashed on everything!

Amazon.com: Soft Pop-Up SLR Flash Diffuser for Canon EOS, Nikon, Olympus, & Pentax On-Camera Flashes: Electronics

This is the exact one I bought. Very inexpensive. I'm happy with it.
