Cool New Gadget

How cool is this little thing...the Puffer by Gary Fong.

This little thing can be purchased from Gary's web site for a total of about $28 (that includes shipping)! Much cheaper than the $110 + shipping for the Whaletail Reporter I am hoping to get for my external flash

The Puffer will work on any camera (even non-DSLR ones) as long as they have a hotshoe for an external flash! How great is that! It is just mounted into the hotshoe and then goes in front of the cameras pop-up flash. Here are a couple pictures I took playing around with it yesterday:

First, without the Puffer

Then with the Puffer over my on-camera pop-up flash

****UPDATE*****

You should check the web site to make sure your camera is listed as one the Puffer will work on! My brother tried to use mine on his while we were visiting them, and even though he had a hotshoe on his Minolta, the Puffer wouldn't fit in it!!!

That's cool! I have a plastic flash diffuser that fits over my speedlite external flash -- it was pretty inexpensive, I think. I always try Amazon first because they seem to always have the best prices.
