Wondering why after spending so much on camera gear and lenses that we end up resorting to toilet paper and and old office bin (in this case) for our diffusion!

Nice photos but how do you use a bin for diffusing?

@davholla it was a white plastic bin with a very good opaque quality. A Dremel Tool, some foam rings, a ton of masking tape and voila, the 'beast' was born... will post a pic of it next time I have it assembled.
