Went to Lowes with twenty bukeroos and came home with supply's to build me an 18 inch dish....here are a couple of pics....I will be using my Sunpak 544 and Ebay triggers for it....I still need to finish the paint around the rim....


I modified the reflector a slight bit....I broke the CD holder base....oops

What did you use for the back to insert the flash head? The gutter piece did work for me.

The proof is in the pudding... or in this case, the photos.

Many designs look good but the only way to know anything or get feedback is to show photos taken with the modifier.

Can you list the parts you used to make the beauty dish?
