You think my last venture into lighting was ghetto?

[Jbs]

Last time i made a ghetto lightbox (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=431712)

now i made a ghetto reflector thing for the stock pop-up flash. I'd say its pretty effective :D

NOTE: ALL PICTURES TAKEN IN ALMOST PITCH BLACK

It bounces light behind off the wall and off the ceiling

It's not harsh at all (i figured the messy bed is a good testing ground)

And now for the ultimate test. No glare etc off of the reflective wrapping paper! :)

Ghetto or not, if it works, it works.

Show us pictures of the device, how it's constructed, how it attaches.

Or are you waiting for patent approval?

sorry, blackberry phone is the only other camera i have right now

as you can see, i didn't have any tape. this is a piece of printer paper that has been folded to be a quarter size of the original. i cut a piece of the toilet paper roll and put the paper in it, then cut the from the sides of the paper towards the middle until it was straight. then i slid it on (the first pic might show it a little bit better)

oh, and then stuffed the front with tissue under the flash to tighten the setup and angle the paper

Looks cool, seems effective.
Don't expect a lot of range with it, but thankfully Canons are better at high ISO than a Blackberry.

i think it works alright :lol:

haha it's no D3, but yea, the 40d is a little better than the blackberry ;)

Line it with aluminum foil, shiny side out. That should really get some backwards throw.

that's cool stuff...i could have used some of that ingenuity tonight trying to a macro shot with a silver bowl (only bowl i could find)

[Jbs]

thanks, I will try the foil thing tomorrow!
