Another DIY Beauty Dish
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)

Re: Another DIY Beauty Dish
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.
