Grab an old roll of film and make it all better. Follow Flickr user natuurplaat&rsquo;s lead, and turn an old film canister into a flash diffuser! A few strategic cuts make it easy to slip the canister onto your pop-up flash, and voila! Soft, beautiful lighting. Keep reading and we&rsquo;ll show you how to make your very own little piece of genius.&quot;</em></p><p><img border="0" alt="" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1204993047.usr14.jpg" /></p><p>The steps to get this done are not that hard really, in fact it is downright easy. But of course, you are then being forced to leave the camera's built-in flash in the extended position. I personally still prefer my external flash which has a built in diffuser. But before putting in that much money, you may want to try this trick to see if you even like the effect that you'll get.</p>
