I was looking for a way to soften my direct flash. Gary Fong, Sto-Fen, etc are all too expensive. I looked at my recycle bin and thought of this:

It's only 4 cents because that's the recycling fee. I drink the content anyway so, it's just 4 cents for me. What's good is that I have a lot of backup in my recycle bin :D

I'm not sure if this will justify getting stares and looks... especially if you're doing a pro job:

It definitely diffuses and has benefits over straight flash with little colour cast problems. The only problem is it is past its sell by date!!:rolleyes:
