Another DIY Beauty Dish

[goforphoto]

Been kicking around with building a beauty dish for a while now. Had some time today to slap it together.

Parts list:
1 stainless steel mixing bowl
1 speed ring from a continuous lighting softbox
4 bolts and nuts
1 CD carriage cover with a cd glued to the inside. (Did not like the outcome of this so I will be doing a modification in the future)

And a test fire.
Not to keen on the center pattern. Plan on replacing the cd container with a metal disc that has a convex mirror attached to it in order to get a more even spread of light into the pan.

Here is a self portrait test shot with only the dish placed slightly to camera right.
