Finally got around to one of my "want to do projects" this week. I've been interested in trying fluorescent light panels/lenses as a flash diffuser. Here are a few shots of what I put together and few shots from my first test.

Looks great..... I put a piece over an old flash to use it on an ultra wide lens it worked OK..... Those are nice.

sandeha - The first shot was at full power and F22, and the second was at 1/4 and F11.
