And Finally

The 'And Finally' column for 30 March titled "Next week: a D2x out of sticky back plastic" (written by a Canon user) was based on a link to another site which sports links to such great tips as a site supplying free 'downloadable flat pack lens hoods' - you print them out on the material of your choice, cut around the stencil lines and tape them to your lens. This is a totally incredible site and completely deadpan. Another link tells how it is possible to make slave flashguns from discarded film cameras.

One of the 'tips' could actually come in handy. A month or so back I was photographed at an opening by a guy who was using a sheet of A4 print paper (for those in the US, letter size will do almost as well) fixed to his flash as a disposable reflector. The Oribounce shows how you can make it look a little (only a little) more professional and slightly more practical with a pencil, some sticky tape and scissors. Thanks go to Torsten Balle Koefoed, a 34 year-old from Denmark for this, almost the sole contents of his web site, the Home of The Moose.
