Flash Diffuser

[RocketTom]

Need a diffuser, you say? You only have a pop-up flash on the camera, you say?

Not a problem!!!

yeah, that would get the job done. ;

While I'm sure that picture was meant to illicit laughter at the unpolished nature of the milk carton taped to the barrel of the camera, I must admit that it has a McGyver type of creative ingenuity that impresses me and I'm sure it's a lot cheaper than the professional diffusers.

EDIT TO ADD:

I bet that "creation" also solves the nasty problem of the shadow cast by the barrel when using the onboard flash

I thought the exact same thing. Kind of a hybrid between a snoot and a diffuser. Not a bad idea, really.

Upon closer examination, they seem to be using a reversed-lens setup for macro photography. ; A very ingenious lighting solution indeed!

Yet another Incredible poster.

That is a neat idea. ;

Good eyes! And I agree - and I'll also bet that light is warmed up a bit in a good way.
