Beauty Dish / Ring Flash How To

This is my first instructable, and in it, we will learn how to make a mini beauty dish for your flash.  The materials are cheap and the method is easy .  I've started going into studio photography and I've come across many different lighting setups that involve pricey light systems that seem unnecessary.  I built this system for under a dollar (but I live in china, so pricing depends on you)  However, this will cost very little and will bring you awesome functionality for the price you invest :)


Oh yeah, check out my gallery here: http://lacusonline4.deviantart.com/gallery/

Step 1 Materials

Materials:
- a cheap metal bowl (small)
- another larger metal bowl (large)
- a flash
- flash diffuser (not the internal ones, but the external ones where you put it on the flash)
- hot glue gun
- sharpie (or any permanent marker)
- construction grade pen knife (I recommend a better tool if you have one but this is the one I used)
- steel edge (metal ruler)

You should already have a flash at this point.
