The DIY FinnBounce
If you're a photographer on a budget and need a relatively effective way to bounce light with your camera's stock flash, then say hello to the FinnBounce, a homegrown recipe made of aluminum, liquid cement and A4 paper.

You can check out the simple steps to creating one here:

  1. finnbounce.jpgFind a piece of cardstock about A4 size. I used the one bracing a package of inkjet photo paper. (US Letter will do for our trans-Atlantic friends.)
  2. Cut a rectangle about 12 x 15 cm out of it.
  3. Cut a slot 2.5 cm wide and 1.5 cm deep in the center of the long edge.
  4. Shape the rest of the edge as you see on the picture: the "tabs" are about 1.5 cm wide and 2 cm deep.
  5. Grab your scissors and a straightedge, and using the blunt side of the scissors, make a straight-line dent into the FinnBounce where you see the fold on the picture. Bend experimentally to see that it bends cleanly.
  6. Get hold of some rubber cement, preferably in stick form (easier to handle). I used UHU PowerStic. Grab a piece of aluminum foil. Lay a very, very thin layer of rubber cement evenly on it, and another on the side of the FinnBounce soon to be covered by it. Allow to set for a minute or so.
  7. Gently unroll the piece of aluminum foil on the FinnBounce, and press flat. Don't muff it too badly, because once it's there, it's there.
  8. Trim edges of foil along edges of FinnBounce with scissors.
  9. Get some clear, adhesive book-cover plastic, cut a piece a bit bigger than the FinnBounce, and cover the aluminum part with it, folding the edges underneath just as if you were covering a schoolbook. Voilà, the FinnBounce is ready for action!
