Damn Birds! lol

[MsKandahar]

it sounds maybe stupid, but what can you do with this thing? In other words, what is the function of the reflector?

ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK WHEN USING AEROSOL SPRAY-PAINTS.

This is awesome! Those reflectors are very expensive in my country. I'll do it myself. Thanks for the tutoring.

Hi, this is a good idea. My comments.

1) Make sure you get ultra-flat black paint. Black card = NO SHINE!

2) Your spray paint technique is no good. Make sure to do slow even strokes in one direction so the paint dries flat. This is important for metalics

3) Be careful with the final tape job, or your whole project will just look unprofessional and make you look REALLY CHEAP.

Thanks for sharing.

i guess this is a good alternative if you can't find a photography store or if you are in a tight budget, good either way

I got a chance last weekend to play around with the reflector in an actual photo shoot and I'm thoroughly impressed. Top quality construction. Zippers work great, metal framing is VERY strong, reflective material works extremely well and you can tell it's good quality. The only con I have really is that the reflector material is kind of tacky (as in sticky), so if you were to brush against it the wrong way it could tear. Otherwise I absolutely love it. Best $17 I've spent in a while.

Good tip, but you can buy a 43-inch collapsible reflector (that does a much better job of reflecting than spray paint) on Amazon for $17. Search for item# B002ZIMEMW

Not only do you get silver, gold, black, and white.. but you also get translucent .. to diffuse light.

Again, I always appreciate DIY photography tips.. but you end up spending more for less with using your tip.

[DigitalPhotographyD]

@arcooke WOW that is a great deal. Thanks for the info, I am sure everyone will be interested in that.

[arcooke]

@DigitalPhotographyD Yep. Mine was shipped out today.. should get it mid-next week. I'll let you know how it is.

[Dukeofyork123]

@arcooke its cheaper its 12.96 the price dropped

[AvantguardX]

Hey there. Great Idea. I had the same Idea of using fabric instead of foam. DIY creativity rocks.

[J2TheRicketts]
