Next, I cut down the cylinder at about a 45 degree angle. The angle is important... eyeball it with it mounted on the camera. in my case, I cut it 90 degrees off axis by mistake. Luckily, my flash unit swivels horizontally, so I'll get my light from above and to the right, which might be useful sometimes. Next time I make one of these, I will cut the 45 degree angle correctly so that the light will bounce from above. (You'll understand when you see the final product picture)

Take the cut cylinder and trace around it on a piece of corrugated cardboard. Cut out the cardboard and glue some white paper on one side to make a reflective surface.

Attach the cardboard to the end of the cylinder with the paper side inside, of course. I used duct tape to preserve the ghetto appeal.

	CursesFoiled says: You know, I think that although you missed the axis you wanted, you made something that behaves like an off-camera flash, and the light coming from off-center as it does with this version could be an interesting bounce+diffuser for portraits. Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
	Muzzlehatch says: Yes, it does act that way. In fact, the result is maybe more interesting than light from above (in macros) would have been. Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
	pauls1017 says: If you want light from directly above the camera with this diffuser, couldn't you just tilt the flashhead up and swivel it to the right? The light would then go up and bounce forward. Posted 4 weeks ago. ( permalink )
