Can somebody remember which date it was when someone showed
how to make diffuser for built
Search "D.I.Y. Flash Diffuser." There are a number of suggestions
Search for Flash Diffuser, two recent ones are in March and June.
That would be good for rainy weather shooting, too. :D

Just remember that the larger the diffuser,
the larger and less harsher the light
source for the subject.
I agree. I have the gary fong puffer pop up diffuser and like it a lot. It works well. Didn't have to fiddle around trying different concoctions.
no need... cut open a translucent 35mm film can and stick it on, or tape on a small piece of cheap paper towel. In a pinch, manually hold a piece of paper napkin or towel, or half-thickness of Kleenex in front of the popup.:thumbup:
You'll find the DIY at the top of the page.
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-4.html Needs to be tapered. If round like a pringles chip can then if becomes a snoot and Does Not help to soften light. The best materiel to use on the end is a good quality paper towel. You can cover with clear plastic to help protect or just use as is. If for on camera flash look about 1/3 down page

Agree on the paper towel.... Even if you go "store bought", adding a paper towel will improve the diffusion. Maybe not necessary for general photography, but for Macro, it makes a noticeable difference.
