Link to the diffuser I used today

For those who were interested in the template I used to make my DIY diffuser...

By the way, Chuck Gardner on DPR forum (someone who's opinion on lighting I find right on), uses this on a flash bracket for candid shots.

I made mine out of a medium thickness No Parking sign I bought for $3 at Home Depot. I could make 5 of these out of one sign. I think a better solution is to go to TAP plastics. They might even have some material that is slightly textured to help diffuse the light a little more. YMMV.
