OK I stumbled across this DIY lighting hack while on my last study break and wow... it is so cool I just had to share it!
http://www.diyphotography.net/the-party-bouncer-is-back-in-business I made on in less that 25 seconds, figured out how I had to rig it to work on my particular pop up flash and WOW... it works great for a quick light bouncer when I need to use the stupid pop-up flash on my camera but cannot control it's intensity. Pretty neat trick and totally quick and easy... I don't mind being a little ghetto if it saves me tons of money! I am also gonna try taping white tissue paper over the flash to see what that does too once I find some in the garage!
