Well, that's a clever diffuser trick. Way to go, Larry! Cheers, Christine

For what it's worth, I post pictures of all of my experiments, like my
home made tripod base, in my technical collection:

The water jug diffuser is made out of a 1 gallon plastic water jug:

I was having troubles with it shining into the elements of my FA31 and
cut it down, and it doesn't work quite as well. I'll need another full
size one soo.
The next step that I need to do in making my diffusers is to come up
with a better test for them. I wasn't even keeping track of which was
which, but this shows the variation in pattern:

I don't remember which one it is, but the water jug diffuser actually
had one of the best patterns. Rather than using a broomstick for a
focusing target, I need to use a mannequin head or something better
for seeing the quality of the light.
