We’ve been talking about flash diffusors before, but someone kicked me in the shins the other day for having forgotten this guide. and I deserved that kicking for sure – Torsten’s OriBounce (Origami Bounce, of course – and a fantastic pun on the OmniBounce flash diffusors from Sto-Fen) is basically just a piece of paper and some tape, but this guy has gone to great lengths to make sure that his diffusor works best.
As with most of these projects, making sure that you use thick, glossy paper works best – and if you use gummed paper, you could even build a diffusor that can stand a bit of rain, too!
Torsten’s guide to the Ori-Bounce is well-written and funny, with loads of photos, too, so why not check it out?
My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from 
In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.
Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.
