Light Snoot

This is something still related to light. This round, I'm going to use a snoot to project the flash light to my subject. Light snoot is a method where by the light source (in this context it's the flash unit) will be controlled to project a tighter end of the light instead of let it wide spread. You can either use a foam cup, a paper cup or even a tooth paste box to snoot the light. In this testing, I'll be using a foam type of paper which is white in color to snoot the light. I tied it around the flash and tried to squeeze the smaller hole possible.

For the flash setting, I mounted it on the camera this time and I set it to multiple-flash. I used the setting between 5Hz~8Hz and flash it 5~10 times in one shutter click. The output power was around 1/4 ~ 1/8.

My subject for this testing would be my newly bought spaceship wannabe wireless router modem.



I'm trying to create some elegant feel in this product...make it looks like there's a spotlight shines on it creating attention on it...

What do you think now? Is it okay? acceptable? or nothing special? or not good?
