DIY Flash Diffuser with Paper and Rubber Band

I saw tons of cool equipment at Wednesday's PMA Sneak Peek event, but my favorite was a sheet of letter-size paper folded and attached to a flash with a rubber band to create a very effective diffuser.

I noticed that Steve Makris, a technology writer for the Edmonton Journal, using the device pictured above. I thought is was so simple, yet elegant and quite useful. If you look closely, he's actually using a PMA memo.

And the best thing about it... "I get a fresh one every day," says Steve.

All the more reason to make sure you have a handful of rubber bands in your camera bag.

Had a great idea for DIY diffuser, get a white dust mask...fold to fit over your flash (hot shoe type) any brand of flash, comes with its own rubber band for holding it in place...works like a charm

To marketplace in full terms of quality rather than cost, and in order to specialise accordingly, you want to observe the official format of the 4 Ps marketing plan. That is, Price, Product, Place and Promotion obviously you recognise the crucial properties of the merchandise, and the price, but for place you should remember nearly the type of people who are willing to give over 4x price of competing production whereas the commercial option may be sold where emphasis is on cost, your ware will be suited to places/distributors where the clients will be willing to pay for high-performance.
