Its been a fun ride over at Flckr. I have moved most of my photo uploads there and am not updating Deviant Art much anymore. Click the Flickr link above or you can view some of the more recent ones here:
The wind blows and the trees rustle. Changes are coming! Again.

This DIY project will produce a small dome flash unit suitable for macro or close-up photography as well as easily adaptable for use as a background or fill flash and even product photography. The flash has a nice uniform soft light that suits may different types of photos. It will run on a single AA (alkaline or rechargeable), mine has a PC port as well as built in optical slave. The total cost of materials (if you didn’t have anything on hand) is about $30. Not bad for a nice fill flash!
Here is an example photo taken using only this dome flash as the lighting source.
