Daniel i find using Aluminum tape helps retain more light the white diffuses a lot of light... but i guess depends what your looking for but i used aluminum tape for the inside of my ringlfash :)....1$ at dollar store $5 at home depot :(

great shot Kite! I'm hoping to get out and do some kite surfing shooting this year! :)

Hahaha, CD spindle diffuser FTW! Nicely done :D

grain even in well lit areas

not _that_ picky right now, just playing with the thing -- was shooting in EASY <3 MODE on the dial so can't really expect sharpness

Awesome shot! So sharp!

Haha...thanks? :D

Diffused light is what I'm going for, so the white is alright. I actually have a convex mirror that is attached underneath the CD spindle cover facing the strobe head. Hopefully that forces more light out of the unit.

Thanks! It was an interesting project, still need to learn how to use it properly.

For those interested, I improvised on instructions from here: http://davidtejada.blogspot.com/2008...or-sb-800.html
-One of the main problems that I had was locating a proper "dish". All the planters I could find did not flatten out as much as I would like them to. All with very high walls and probably not as diffused as I would have liked the light to become after it becomes modified.

LCV, do you live around knight? cause...yea. that's pretty close to me. :P

^nah richmond -- stumbled across that tunnel not too long ago

it reminded me of an equalizer or a graph or something.

Doesn't make it any less of a tunnel =)

Squamish, BC is where you can get that done in the summer time. Usually if it's a sunny day, it is windy.

A good windy saturday or sunday will have close to 50 kites in the air at one point and 80ish throughout the day.


Here are some more kiting shots:

What lens did you use for shots 2 and 3?
Very nice shots by the way :)

nice capture Geoff!

This was actually a bit of a challenge because the batteries in my triggers died, so I had to fire the flashes manually. Ended up tripping once or twice running to set them both off in time haha
