DIY Softbox Version ?

For the past two years since I started this hobby, I built a few softboxes, diffusers and even beauty dishes that I lost count. Built those, tried and tested, and it will be thrown away either because it's not functioning properly or they break apart. I didn't give a name to the recent diffuser for my Nex either so I guess I'll just build anything and call it by any number after this.

Anyway, I built another softbox using corrugated plastic sheets. It has been used for my recent portraiture with Mr. Zrul. The process was simple enough, I will just show you the finished product. This time, it looked better and can last longer than all my previous ones.


The inner part. I pasted aluminium foils using white glue.


The two piece of plastic sheet on top are meant to hold the flash in place.


Closer look.


A white cloth is used as a diffuser, temporarily. :D


The size.




I used an adjustable cable tie to lock the flash.


Yeah! Glowing brightly!

Now some test shots using my ever faithful and obedient Arios.
