Cheap Pop-Up flash diffusers. Check it out :) you'll save a ton.

Okay so I just got a new Canon DSLR to replace my old one. I spent too much and now can't afford to buy an external flash for a while.
I was looking at a few options for your pop up flash, and came across these.

It would be great if they had the "scoop" or the ZEH card for that cheap lol, thought I'd share with you guys.

 

A table tennis ball with a slit in it to fit on the flash is also cheap...

 

One A4 sheet of copy paper.

 

Wish Nikon would've saved a few bux and excluded the "pop-up" flash on my camera =)

 

What is a pop up flash? (from a 5D owner)

 

I do not think those popup flash disfuser help much

 

I don't always carry my flash gun with me, sometimes all I have available is the on camera flash. I posted this for people that might
want something more substantial than a paper index card for diffusing the harsh pop up flash.
Oh, congrats on having a fancier camera than I do. It's great to hear you consider it a luxury item that should be excluded. :thumbup:

 

I consider the item with such poor quality mine has never been used. Inside I'll tweak my ISO before popping it up, outside I'll find anything to use as a reflector.

I used one of these the other day because i didn't have my lights with me http://www.amazon.com/Sopus-Products-Axius-1203006B-Windshield/dp/B001A3MKFY

I doubt the pop-up would even clear my 24-70 or 70-200 VRII lenses. Whats this "luxury" you speak of?

And don't take me too serious on the net.....

 

that is a good idea i will try that! thanks

 

Fair enough lol. I love those reflectors, I'll take redirected sunlight over flash any day.
