Just procured a speedlite 550EX from the 'bay (much cheaper than a 430EX but with most of the goodness found in a 580EX it would seem)..
I know a few people have made their own light tents out of all sorts of stuff - pvc plumbing pipes, card board boxes, tissue paper, bed sheets etc
however, I noticed a highstreet shop selling collapsable white 'laundry basket' that seems perfect for use as a light tent / softbox without any DIY required.. so I also bought one of those for £4
set it all up for a bit of experimentation:
still getting to grips with the flash, and will need some kind of off body cable / wireless trigger I think (been triggering it manually) but so far really impressed with the effects you can get.
any tips / pointers welcome plus any ideas about the best method for off body shooting would be handy..
