Would love to see a pic of your DIY getup ;) I'm considering making one also since I cannot afford to buy a nice ring flash :P

Just as simple as a plastic plate? Well these sir, are absolutely fantastic images. Wonderful lighting and colour.

Please post a photo of your camera with this diffuser. I understand how it would look but I'd really like to see to be sure plus it would give us an idea as to the size and angle. The detail rendered is sublime.

OK, here are some images of the setup:

Cool. It's quite interesting how such a simple idea can provide very good diffusion. Looks to be about the same dimensions as my softbox diffuser but I think softens the light so much more. Might try and incorporate something like that within my softbox to see how it works :)
