Again great job! I do that sometimes with my flashes too... its amazing what a piece of foam paper and velcro can do. I've heard it called a Snoot before. Its cool because you can pretty much alter what the beam of light would look like. For a more directional beam, I like using a grid which is pretty much the same thing as a snoot, but I take a bunch of black straws (all about 2 inches in length) together and form them in the shape of my flash then wrap them in the foam paper the place it on the flash. It makes the light nice and tight. Pretty cool stuff! Hope to work with you again soon!! Glenn Z Hi Mike! Again great job!

I would like to try that, but I am very visual and it always helps to see what it looks like. The pictures were warm and sweet. I am glad you had that opportunity to be apart of something that is so inspiring and kind. Thanks, Sylvia Hi Mike,

I actually bought a piece of black foam paper at Wal-Mart put velcro on it and wrapped it around the flash. It was only about 8" long and it kept the light formed into a small rectangle-shaped form. I think the light looks warm because of the red slate, light takes on the color of what it is reflected from. So, red slate equals warm light! Thanks for visiting, hope you can come back.

Nice site. So... If I get this right, you forced the shaft of light by using your flash, masked into a shape? (showing in the middle photo) Wow! The light is so warm. Hi Mike! Nice site.
