Ice-cream-sphere cloud

January 20th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

A little bit of a mouth full, and rather nerdy, but works pretty well. Gary Fong developed a Lightsphere Cloud, but I was resourceful, and constructed one from an ice cream container. I don’t even remember what ice-cream it was, but the container was the rigid semi-transparent plastic. I removed all the stickers, and labels. I then took my SB800 and traced a line in the lid around the SB800, and cut it out using a knife. When used (I’ll get some pictures of that later), it creates a nice even light source.
