Hi everyone,

I’ve been busying myself recently by posting mostly about photographic gear whilst the main road has remained closed to public transport for more than a week due to the flooding following Storm Ciaran and I’ve been unable to get out and get any new shots or pretty much anything else for that matter, I’m going a bit stir-crazy but should be able to get out somewhere soon.

I got one of these small flash soft box diffusers with an elasticated fitting and part silvered inside specifically for my Godox Lux Junior flash. As the Lux Junior is a direct manual flash it can be a bit too stark with harsh shadows when mounted directly on the camera unless that’s the look one’s looking for. With the diffuser fitted I think that one would probably need to compensate for the loss of light by increasing the output power by one or two stops equivalent or, if not possible, by increasing the ISO setting by the same degree. The diffuser would also fit my Godox TT350 flash or I guess pretty much any other flash gun, but the 350 unit has a bounce head, bounce card and attachable diffuser so it’s probably not required so much as with the smaller unit. You can get these diffusers “as cheap as chips” at circa £5 UK on E-bay etc. and they don’t take up much space as you can see in the pictures below, side by side with and fitted to the Lux Junior. I’ve tried out other types of diffuser in the past which have all proven to be either too flimsy and/or too bulky so this one looks like a better bet. I suppose if all else fails I could always draw a nose and two eyes on it and use it as a glove puppet to keep our youngest baby granddaughter amused for a while. 🙂

All the best,

Leigh
