I took this image quickly with dreaded on-camera flash just to illustrate what I received. There a better image in an article on the DSLBlog about them. The item under the equipment is a homemade bounce diffuser I made with instructions linked on Strobist.com. I unpacked the lot and spent a couple of minutes figuring out how to attach them to my D-80 and my SB-800. First the batteries went in and I managed not to break anything. The co...
