Have been having a bit of fun with some plumbing parts, electrical tape, some tupperware-boxes and some marine-grade epoxy here is what it ended up with:
The items used to build the strobes:
Hacksaw, knife, scissors, electrical tape, sandpaper, black spray paint, black straws, epoxy, plumbing parts, cups, tupperware-boxes, male garden-hose couplings.
The parts were cut, sanded and glued to fit, finally a good thick layer of spray-on paint was given
Strobe with finished snoot attached, tripod with ball-adapter, large snoot for CFWA shots
The straws are held together with electrical tape and really helped to direct the light in a nice round and constricted beam
The snoots simply squeze over the front of my Inon strobes, making it easy to remove/replace underwater. I found that for the small snoot the hole for the plumbing pipe had to be off-center and directly above the strobe to get enough light through.
-The large snoot gives a spot with a 10-15cm diameter
-The small snoot gives a spot with a 5cm diameter
-The small snoot with garden-hose coupling inserted gives a spot of 1-2cm
This stuff is pretty easy to make, and a whole lot of fun! The shooting is, lets say challenging, spending 20-60min pr subject until I get the shot I want, with practice hopefully it will go a bit faster
Hope this comes in handy to some of you guys out there who wants to get some unique images without spending a lot of money
Test shots will come up soon,
Happy bubbles, Morten.
