Flash Cap Diffuser
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
Can someone recommend a diffuser for a external flash?
I have a Nikon SB-600 and I am looking for a reasonably priced soft box or some type of diffuser for my flash. I am taking some shots at a restaurant in a few weeks that does not have low ceilings to bounce the flash around. I have been looking on B&H Photo, and can someone tell me if those plastic caps are worth the money? I want to find a diffuser that if I aim the light at them it wont be as harsh or they come out as washed out.
Hi,
You have, I guess, 4 portable alternatives: -
1. White linen handkerchief or napkin which you probably have at home - cost zero - likely to still have some hard spots, so double it up
2. Stofen (or similar) diffuser which fits right on the flash head. I use this with a Canon flash and it is OK. There are also gold versions if you want a warmer light
3. Gary Fong system - rather expensive I feel, but good, and lots of options - google this
4. Several velcro attached diffisers, or ones you blow up like a balloon. Attached is an ebay link. Ebay is worth a look as there are many...many options from $5 upwards
Less portable option: -
Strobist approach, with a white umbrella, see strobist.com, but this is an off-camera system, and needs enough space.
Hope one of these works for you!
