Find a thin sheet of plastic or paper (white or semi transparent) and cut it to the size of your onboard flash and you made yourself a nice diffuser for more pleasant photos with flash. It is for free, it is light, small and you could always carry one of these in your pocket. Even a paper tissue can be of help to get more pleasant shadows on your images.

Good advices, both diffuser versions.
Today's kids (and not only kids) think, if it isn't in the store or on EBay (pick your fave commercial site...) then it does not exist.
There should be more of such ideas on photography site! Maybe more people would dare to experiment, and in the same time learn - and save money.

Thanks... what I can do, I like to do myself. It's fun, it's free and money is spared. Sometimes the results is even beter than that of indusatrial made gear.

Thanks. My intention was to show just that and give a jump start for others to think out of the box and wallet. ;-D

Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken in my home.

Time

It was afternoon. I don't remember exactly when.

Lighting

To get les aggressive shadows I used the same diffuser on my other camera.

Equipment

Onboard flash (with diffuser) on my camera was used.

Inspiration

I wanted a diffuser to get better images with onboard flash, so I designed one. It is functional with good results and is for free. It is very portable and light and fit in every pocket, so there is many benefits about it.

Editing

Only sharpening was applied.

In my camera bag

One or both of my Olympus cameras (E-3 or E-520) and lenses. It depends if I'm traveling with my car, or walking.

Feedback

Idea is the main word. Than you have to know what you want to show and for what purpose. It all comes to that. The more clear you present your idea the better.
