... In article , says... When there are a lot of specialist for this area I would like to use your know-how. Is it possible to use one or several layers of the bubble-foil [for protecting fragile goods] as cheap diffuser? [I know that some heating protection is necessary]. Or forget it anyway? Many thanks. -- Rado1 Fist thought is that you might get some very interesting lenticular highlights! You might want to either visit a cine supply store for Rosco-lux, or similar, or a drafting supply shop for Herculine, or another frosted drafting medium. Now, the sheet foam packing might work fine, but you'll lose a lot of F's, as that stuff is thick. Hunt I've tried that packing stuff, and it is quite good, but as you say, absorbs a lot of light. Not bad outdoors sometimes, where you might actually want to absorb light as well as diffuse it on occasion: the sunlit flower against a shadowed background type situation. Peter |
