Well, it costs next to nothing to make one, so just try it out first lor. If not satisfied, then plonk in the money to buy.

Right.... me made one ... Prototype... hahah, a bit soft. top and sides angled at 45 degrees... If work, I'll mod it to allow me to fold it for storage, and use velcro to keep it in shapewhen in use. Maybe use some ruber and velcro to 'tie' it to my flash... See if it works well enough... Prototype image:

The light indoors is softer than direct flash, but harsher than ceiling bounce.... I'll try it for out door tomorrow... don't think its fair... I still have a pretty low ceiling above the flash when using the card...

Good question binbeto and here's the rationale. If we picked places like SLS or AMK, there'd only be 1 retailer in the area, i.e. Alan Photo and M S Colour respectively. However, the Peninsular area is a known shutterbug haven with retailers like Cathay Photo, TCW, John 3:16, Fotoguide and such...

Imagine if one can't find a certain item at a store, you'll can always try your luck @ another one, which is just a stone's throw away!

Oh I see.. I didn't know that.. I thought there is only 1 shop(CP, that is) there... Didn't know it's known as shutterbug..

Thanks for the enlightenment.

It would work better if the insides are a matt white.

Matt white..... HmmmmmMMmm... The board I use is something like construction paper... But not exactly matt... can advice on material to be used??

Wouldn't waxy side of tracing paper reflect more light?

Try those foam boards or corrugated plastic sheets for mounting posters.
