Very clever. And I can mod it to use on my attached flash, too.

I think bouncing off the ceiling gives you better results or using a tent. nice idea tho.

Thanks. Yes, certainly, I agree with you: if the ceiling is neutral in colour, or you have the time to set up a tent, the results should always be better than direct light. This is a merely band-aid, for when you're stuck without the right equipment.

I decided that, if my bucket lighting tent was worth publishing, I'd see what I could do with a drinking cup as a lighting accessory.
