Jun 12, 2012 09:35 | #1 Here are the plans that I drew up for my Wrap-around diffuser. It is designed for the Canon 430EX Speedlite.  Looking inside...I used a piece of aluminum foil placed in the center of the inside layer of vellum.  Looking inside where the flash is inserted.

Jun 17, 2012 18:18 | #7 Thanks for the comments!! I hope my design can help someone else get better lighting in their images too. If you choose to build one be sure and post up some pics here in this thread. I would really like to see what others can do with my design also. Thanks again.

Thanks...I shoot with a Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro lens at the closest focus range of the lens in most cases.

I plan to make a new one as I have just acquired a proper sigma flash so I am excited to see this plan.

Jul 07, 2012 19:18 | #15 Yea when you look at it with a flashlight it is very interesting how it captures and reflects the light. I got mine at wallmart in the automobile section so you dont have to go to the trouble of ordering online if you dont want to. Wes
