DONE. Free DIY Speedlight Flash Gel Holders, one pair remaining. Anyone want 'em?

I had a couple of extra pair leftover after tonight's craft project. There's one pair remaining, the other is on it's way to Florida,
so PM me your mailing address and I'll put them in an envelope and send 'em out. You gotta be in the states, though.

Cheers,

Mick

Apply the two extra pieces of velcro to the sides of your flash head and attach the holder. Insert whatever Lee swatch or Rosco Strobist
gel that suits your fancy into the plastic holder and Bob's yer uncle. Remember to leave a wee bit of room between you flash lens and
the holder, especially if you're at full power.

Second pair goes to the absolute other side of the lower 48, Washington. Cool. Tell me how you like 'em (or not).

These are seriously easy to make. A box of clear presentation pages, some velcro, and, depending on your level of OCD, a ruler, an xacto knife, and a cutting mat.

Got 'em a week ago today, but spaced out on sending thanks and posting a comment. I guess 30,000lbs of commercial airliner fuel tank paint can be distracting!

Indeed, these things are simple, but ingenious. Great idea.

Thanks for sending them!
