Any experiments that work really well?

Hi, Just type into Yahoo or Google "homemade or DIY photography equipment" and you will have to spend all day clicking your mouse.

my favourite site is www.instructables.com

you'll need to sign up to download the pdf's but if you do a search for ring flash, you'll even get how to make one with LED's. tho some people do go over the top.
