The 5 Seconds Flash Bouncer/Gel Holder

Tuesday, 13 April 2010 06:12

Roaring Stars at Flamber Head (by Brian P Carey)Brian Carey (site, Flickr) just sent me a very cute mod/hack to create a flash bouncer (much like the omni bounce) only it can be made in 5 seconds and it folds crumbles flat.

It allows your strobe to fire light in all direction much like a bare bulb studio flash. And aside from providing a bare bulb mode on your strobe, it also doubles as a gel holder.

Easily Carry Your Bokeh Discs

[091/365] - Make 7, Up Yours (by Marco_Parc)Finally, the Bokeh Masters Kit gets mod. I could not be more proud.

It is a simple mode, a modal'e. Yet DIYP's kit is now a proud member of the modifiable products family. Kudos to Guy Tismansky for submitting it. If you have absolutely no idea what I am talking about and see this kit introduction post.

The mod is simple and really takes only 30 seconds to complete, once done it will allow you to easily carry your bokeh discs by attaching the discs wallet to the camera strap. If you already have a kit, simply follow the instructions below. [The image above was taken by Marco_Parc using the bokeh masters kit]

Great Things To Come - Day One Q&A

Tuesday, 13 April 2010 06:12

Three days ago I made a post about me taking blogging and photography as my main job (and by main I mean only). The response has been overwhelming and inspiring. I would like to thanks everyone for the support mails, comments, donations and offers to guest post.

One cool thing that emerged from the feedback is that it helped me to learn what DIYP readers want to see in DIYP and this will help me better tune the site. There were also a lot of questions that I thought would be best answered in a single post.

So I am going to do a short Q&A below, I am still soliciting for feedback on what you want so some of the Q&A will have follow up question. I would be thankful if you could take a minute to answer. It would help me and the DIYP set more focused goals for the road ahead.
