January's Foto Friday is all about Flash. FF Co-creator, Jen, wrote a great post on the Flash Compensation settings on her Nikon. To my slight dismay, my Canon does not have a flash compensation.
But with the help of Photojojo, I made this handy little diffuser from an old film container. This creation is a quick, low-tech way to tame that flash!
The one and only step:
Remove an area the same width of the flash with an exacto knife.
The diffused difference:Without the diffuser - Too stark
With Diffuser - Must softer
Photographer Beware: You may want to close your eyes just before you snap the shot. The diffuser, if not tight enough, can reflect the light back toward you a bit. Consider yourself warned!

Love Scott's face in the first pic. Too funny. After reading your post in my Google Reader, litterally two posts later, I see this one on beyondmegapixels about a flash diffuser.
