Flash diffuser: DIY

Hi,
I was just viewing some flash diffusers online and I decided that I would make one myself!
Why did I chose to make one myself? Simple
1) I can choose the size I wan't it to be
2) I can customise it
3) I can maike what I want
4) It is cheap

Despite it being homemade, I tell you, it is dam good! (Other than the fact that it cannot take abuses and is a bit big, But the bigger it is the softer the shadows casted. Correct?)
I will post some pictures of it soon.

Next, I discovered that actually I do not need an external thing or Nikon SU-800 to trigger my SB-600 when I put it seperately. e.g. On a tripod and not on the camera's hotshoe.
I learnt it from kenrockwell.com

So now, I can use my flash diffuser with my side flash and use it like a strobe light! wow!

I will post some pictures soon!

bye,
Tyy

Once again, the dis-illusion

Hi,
Today John Phua asked me about photography books and he is trying to learn some skills. Then guess what, he said things, " like ai ya my best camera is you know what? Is my handphone camera, 5 megapixels only!" Due to time shortage, I couldn't explain to him, gotta sing national anthem...in class 0_0

Anyway, it ok. It is a very common mistake. Jeremy was once like that but since the few conversations with him and a few visits to my blog and kenrockwell.com , he has changed his mentality. hahas. Thats good.

So, John phua, if you happen to come accross this blog, please view my posts about megapixels. Btw,also visit kenrockwell.com ( :

I learnt something

When you are buying those non-electronic related stuff from respective brands, buy online!
Singapore shops mark up their price by a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot!!!!
For example, I can get a Holga online at Adorama for US$39.90. FREE SHIPPING!
In Singapore they sell you for a $100++.

My manfrotto monopod could have been bought online for much cheaper. I do not want to say to remind myself of the bitterness...

Anyway, humans make mistakes. I will take it as a lesson learnt. Paid.

Next time when I get a new tripod when I need( i still don't need it now), i will go to sim lim, look for the model, say thank you to uncle danny and get it online.
