Hey guys,
I've been using a studio light setup for a while now, with softboxes, umbrellas, reflectors, barn doors, ect. I'm proceeding forward in an attempt to play with shooting with a beauty dish. I have no experience in the department. However, everywhere I have seen, for a decent beauty dish, I'm looking to spend over $140.00. However, I come from a mechanically inclined background, having tons of experience in carpentry and automotive fabrication. With this said, it looks as if I can just create one of these things for little to nothing. So, does anyone know of a place I can get some info on the materials needed, even maybe a tutorial to see the direction someone else has taken in doing it? I would like to do one for my B800's, as well as build one to use with my SB-900.
Any info is appreciated.
