Gary Fong's "Puffer" - Small, Portable Flash Diffuser
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 12:30 PM
"The PUFFER mounts in the hot-shoe slot of digital cameras with a pop-up flash, greatly softening the quality of light. It's great for portraits, grabshots of people and closeups of objects (great for eBay photos!) It packs completely flat for convenient storage in your camera bag (or pocket!) and has eight different mounting positions for the perfect fit for any popup flash camera."
I have a Gary Fong Lightsphere, and it makes a world of difference when taking pictures using my flash - yet there are always situations where hauling my camera, flash, and Lightsphere is just a bit too much of a hassle. The Puffer looks like a good solution for that - likely not as effective as a bounced flash with the Lightsphere, but still much better than the standard flash effect. At only $19.95 (currently on sale), it won't break that bank either. I've already placed an order for one from my local camera shop.
