I just sent someone a note and included a link to some of my fun DIY photo projects.
I haven't yet got pictures of my backdrop hangers, or my various grids and snoots, but here are some of mine: I made a "cheap" water and shock proof carrying case for some of my lenses: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157614520437805/ My water jug diffuser (fongdong replica) http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157606657830875/ I wanted to be able to use both hands on the camera when using the flash grip, so I kludged two together, so that my flash would rest on my shoulder http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157610464697985/ I use a monopod a lot, but carrying it was a pain, so I just use a maglite belt loop to hang it off my belt: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623846825763/ I was told that you can't get a sturdy tripod base for less than $200, so I made one out of an air tool manifold and some plumbing pieces for about $50, though it did require drilling and tapping five holes for the mounting plate: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157605385468949/ What are some of your projects where you used cleverness to make something for a couple of bucks rather than spending a lot more to get it ready made? -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
