ROTFL @kindagoodphoto

No wonder your photos are only "Kinda good"! 100W light bulb? Gonna be a hunchback in no time carrying a power supply when doing outdoor macro work. Over a month later and still no "spoof"- you might want to trade in your disposable camera for some big boy toys there kiddo!

Great tutorial!

I actually splurged this week and picked up a couple Zeikos Slaves and intend on mounting them much like the Canon or Nikon Macro Twin Light. For the $20 total I think it is worth it.

Actually last year cops stopped me at the botanical gardens, they wanted to make sure I was running around with an open container.

Still way to much shadow.

Doesn't matter what it looks like, the only thing people will be looking at is the final product- the images you take.

Excellent video. I saw LordV on Flickr and was thinking of trying this

Still not THAT soft, I think you can improve with better diffuser material because the tube concept itself should work nicely. Try something more opaque than that, a lot of light must be passing directly

@kindagoodphoto After I got done laughing at your horrible attempt at an insult, I decided to look at your videos. Surprise, I found none! Who wold have thought? Anyways keep working on your internet bravery, it needs a little touching up. Regards. @motleypixel Thanks for showing a great alternative to expensive rigs that most of us can create at home. Very informative!

Thank you so much for the examples at the end. I am new to all this and it's kind of aggravating when I don't really know what the hell people are talking about or what their goal in making these DIY projects. Great video and thank you so much.
