As you may already know from previous posts, I am a huge fan of DIY projects…especially when they save you $400.  Last month I came across a very interesting DIY project on Flickr for making a ring flash.  Since I have been eying up ring flashes and pushing myself to finally break down and purchase one, I thought I should give this a shot first.

This is a quick and simple “do-it-yourself” project that uses a Chinese food container as an external flash diffuser. As you order more food and get more container lids, you can use them to make interchangeable adapters with different light patterns.

If it were any deeper of a container, it would almost be a good substitute for a Gary Fong light modifier.
