Soft Flash Diffuser review

[Snappers]

I have a Nikon flash gun that fits my Nikon D70s but I found that the flash on it was too strong at times. The same could be said for the inbuilt flash on my camera. I wanted a Diffuser that was easy to carry and yet did the job it was supposed to do. I saw this diffuser on Ebay and thought I may as well give it a go as it was only going to cost me £5.30.

Basically, it has an elastic neck so you just slip it over your flash unit and you are in business. It can be tricky getting it on in the first place but once it is on, it stays there.

I was quite impressed with the results.

First I took a picture with the flash unit without the diffuser on, this is what it looked like:-

I then put the diffuser on and the improvment can clearly be seen.

There may well be other ways of doing this but for just over £5 I thought it was well worth it.

If anyone wants a link to the person on ebay selling these, then please let me know.

It may be worth considering making your flash photography totally unique? simply by making your own diffuser from a semi clear plastic ' the sort you get from a lunch box' / simply cut it out to fit your on camera flash head , then place it with a little blue tack? you can also add plastic cuts on top of each other with blue tack until your happy with the results then super glue each piece to one another....this way your lighting becomes completely unique like your photography?
