I got the chance to test my DIY beauty dish this morning. It worked like a charm!
I once again had my friend Gavin Culbertson stand in for a few quick portraits.

He was standing in the shadow with a sun-lit wall behind him. This picture could be improved with a back light but I only have one Speedlight, a Canon 550EX.
I love the circular highlight that shows up in the eyes of the subject.

I will need to play with it more but it certainly gives off a nice quality of light. Not bad for a $20 DIY light modifier.
