DIY Flash Modifier
A flash is an external light source for a camera that is used to add light to a scene so the resulting picture is brighter and more detailed. Professional flash attachments and diffusers can be expensive, especially compared with the cost of creating the same effects yourself with household materials. With a little creativity and ingenuity, you can create your own flash modifiers.
