Build A Huge Beauty Dish After Eating Great Food In Chinatown
One of the things I remember most from my visit to new york city is the tour I took around Chinatown. Specifically I remember sitting in one of the local places ordering food which I did not know the name of nor its ingredients.
It was some kind of soup and it was delicious. Till this very day I am not sure what was that floating eyeball but I enjoyed it very much.
A short walk after my wife and i (really it was just my wife) bought a whole set of china dishes. This was the part where I dosed off. If I had seen the DIY video below I may have been more interested, as it shows how to build a beauty dish with stuff you find in Chinatown and an Lastolite Ezybox bracket (for mounting).
I wonder if someone would pick up the glove and add this BD to the DIY beauty dish stand off.

Great DIY Beauty Dish!

...and easier to manufacture.
Perhaps...
True, yours looks to be less expensive and easier to make, however this version does look clean and polished. As Mike said, it would be nice to see some sample shots with and without similiar to what you provided.
Cutting metal sucks
...unless you are good at it and actually enjoy it. Cutting plastic with a Stanley knife is much easier, and quicker.
That said, the dish they made looks great and is probably very effective, but they could probably do better by putting a convex mirror inside like this one: http://thephotophile.blogspot.com/2010/10/convex-mirror-for-my-diy-beaut... it spreads the light from the flash in a much more efficient manner.
Just my 2cents worth.
I don't know...this one looks
I don't know...this one looks really simple to make. Would love t see a sample shot. Also I had a hard time telling what the reflector was made from...perhaps I just need to go through it again. Outstanding video and definitely looks like a fun build!
