Thanks Moose

Here's an older version, only difference now is the soft box is much larger

Cool. Looks a bit like the Pringles can contraption I use.

Diffusion looks great.

If you have a colour cast you could setup a white balance by shooting a spectrographic reference card with it, either in camera if you use JPG or as a click balance in your raw processer (best way for me).

PS
How do you folks get close to anything with these huge diffusers?!

Here's mine. It only gets in the way if the subject is inside a bush or something. And as far as scaring the bugs away with it; I just have to be extra stealthy

Styrofoam bowl, and a sheet of thin packing foam... the stuff that often covers a new TV screen or computer monitor. I've also used a sheet of paper towel (actually a split sheet of two-ply), but it rips pretty easily.
