Get great results from your photography while saving a ton with this great little do-it-yourself alternative to the Gary Fong Lightsphere!
While I would love to claim the original concept for this little project, I must give credit to Artur Gajewski and his wonderful how-to over at Instructables.
Tried this yourself? I would love to see your results and may even share them on the blog!
Very nice! I will try it instantly with the stuff you get at Ikea.
Nice and simple. The model made me laugh.
Below is my video with a half-cut coffee-mate bottle but your results are better:)http://serhanoksay.blogspot.com/2011/11/ic-mekanda-flas-kullanm.html
Thanks for sharing! I love the variety of products you tested, especially the plastic bag 😉
Do you think one would be able to do this with a “standard” point and shoot? I have a Canon S95.
You should add this to your 15 things for under $25 article (although I suppose you will have to change the title a little…)
What a great simple design, Do you have a comparison (or know of one) with an actual Gary Fong diffuser? Just to see how it really stacks up (the light looks great, just for information obviously).
This is what I use for a $1 diffuser:Go to a Chinese restaurant, buy soup for take-out, drink the soup, clean container, cut a hole in the bottom with a razor, and you got yourself a perfect Lightsphere imitation diffuser.
