Small Flash - Snoots

Here are some examples of snoots that you can use. I made the black snoot from a black plastic packing tube. To make the Pringles snoot it is just a simple matter of eating the chips first and then cutting out the bottom with a can opener. Just slide one of these over your flash unit and you are ready to go.
                               

The longer the snoot, the smaller the light beam on the subject. If you do not want to make your own snoot you can buy some really nice ones online.


Below is a photograph of an orange slice in front of the pringles can snoot. The power of the flash is set as low as I could get it, which was 1/128 power. I used the built in pop-up flash to add just a small amount of light to the front. The power of the pop-up flash was set to about 1/64 power through the custom settings menu.
