Firstly, I would like to appologise if I've posted this in the wrong section. Mod / Admin pls move it if its wrong.
And I would also like to appologise if this has been done before. Pls forgive me for whatever wrong I've did. This is my first try.


Umm okay.. So this is my DIY Demb diffuser.. Sucks tho.. Effect maybe is 60-70% of Demb, Which means.. 60% xRm195.00 = Save Rm117.00!

Lets start.


First, You would need :-
1 x Scissors
1 x Surgery Tape
1 x Pen
1 x Ruler
1 x Thick rubber band / Velcro
1 x Transparent tupper-ware cover
1 x Photo Paper ( For printing photos )

Yeap~ Thats all!





Okay, Firstly.. Measure 1 inch (up to you) and draw a line across to the corner of the other end. And cut it along the line.




Then, Cut the end so that it'll be easier to slide in to position ( will know why in the end )




Next, Cut a small piece out from the tupper-ware cover.




Trace the bounce card shape onto the cover and cut it out.




Finally, Tape it to the back of the bounce card. ( This is to strengthen the bounce card )




Thats it for the bounce card.




Now its time to make the Diffuser!




First, Cut out the same shape (for the legs) as the bounce card.




Then, Use the surgery tape to tape around it.




It'll turn out to be something like that.

But I prefer my light to be more diffused so I add another layer of surgery tape to it.



And I also cut the bounce card shorter so that it bounces less light.



Lastly, Use the rubberband / velcro to secure the bounce card and diffuser to yr flashgun. And its DONE!

Final product :-





Well, Whats the effect?

Before (Ceiling bounce),



After (Ceiling bounce + 'Demb'),





Well, Good luck to you guys trying this. Can leave a msg here or PM me if u dun understand. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. Tyvm!

Thank you for viewing, Everyone! Have a good day =D

Ahh I tried posting a reply to this but it still says too many..

Sure. I'll take one now.

And no.. I'm using the transparent tupper-ware cover and tape it with surgery tape. So can control how many layers of surgery tape to put.. more = more diffused.

Nice thread, thanks for this info

bro, u can use photobucket, flickr or for sharing photos..

Thank you!

I do use Photobucket.. Isn't that the only way to post pictures on this forum? Got other ways one kah? O.O

using photo sharing website n embed the photo link here is more efficient way bro.

Not sure how to do that.. I've seen ppl do it b4 tho.. =/

Interesting! Thanks for sharing bro!

Thank you! =D

cool....thks...must try.

Very nice... maybe can share the measurement also... thanks.

Ahh~ Thank you for requesting, but measurements actually depends on your flash. And gotta try to see which suits your flash. If its too harsh, can try to add another layer of surgery tape or cut the bounce card shorter. =)

i tot if too harsh make the bounce card bigger so that bigger area so the it's more diffused?
you can see the area under the cap still a bit dark and need more forward light.

overall good effort.
should take a picture without flash so we know what is the base condition

Maximum 10 pictures allowed in one post. Having said so, you could always reserve a few post. Say, post 3 post, and you can have 30 pictures in each of them



Anyway, I've invis some of the post for you to edit and include more pics should you see fit.

Ahh I see! Thank you very much! I'll add more photos then.

Umm not sure abt this, But if its shorter = bounce less light? =D
Okay~ I'll snap a shot now and upload it.

Good & interesting share, thanks bro..

U're welcome! Go try it. 15 mins.. Very simple.

good way to do it! but sadly i only use a sb400

Ahh~ can also what.. Whatever flash also can use!

i cant really imagine how to make it work yet hahaha perhaps u can give me a little insight on that?

I'm a Sony user.. O.o

looks interesting. can you please take the pic of the finished diffuser with the whole flashgun? maybe from a few angle. been wondering how does the light bounce

I took of one already. Its there.

hey
This cool DIY project !
thanks for sharing with us

can i get a nice single flash portrait using this demb diffuser?

You're welcome!

Umm. It doesnt really affect the picture. I mean, all it does it bounce light forward and diffusing it. I think the flash power is the key to a nice picture.
