  1. Nice! What type of diffuser are you using? Posted 2 years ago
    1. I should call it DYM - Do it Myself!!! It is similar to Cygnustech, but not so perfect, of course. I bought some plastic black and matt white maps from the local bookstore and a silver self-adhesive folio and velcro tape. The materials I used cost about 10 euros and several hours of drawing, cutting, and creating a paper prototype. When not mounted it is flat, slightly larger than A4, and fits perfectly in the backpack in the laptop compartment. It takes me about 2 minutes to mount it on the flash. The photo of the pelargonium was taken at home, next weeks I will test it in nature. I hope for good results. Posted 2 years ago
