Do It Yourself Mini-Softbox Diffuser



DIY mini-softbox diffuser, originally uploaded by Roldie.

I made mini-softbox diffuser out of cardboard, electrical tape and tracing paper. It took all of about 45 minutes to measure it out, cut and put it together.



It measures about 5 inches by 5 inches at the opening.

Without Softbox Diffuser:

Harsh (hard) light on the image. Just a little overexposed.

With Softbox Diffuser:

Softer light evenly speard out.




In all honesty, I think the harsh light looks better then the diffused light in the photo comparison. There's a uses for both lights. It's a matter of when and where. Also what is the lighting situation and presonal preference. All in all it depends of the photographer and the subject.
