This is a really cool tutorial. If you want a ring flash but don’t have the money to purchase one yet this could very well work for you. The materials needed include:
- A plastic bowl (not too thick) whose base is about 8 cm of diameter. Your lenses need to be able to go through.
- Another plastic bowl, but slightly smaller, but not under 8 cm. It needs to get inside the big bowl, but your lenses will also have to go through it.
- A piece of pipe (PVC gives the best results in term of weight and toughness) about 5 cm long and 8 cm of diameter.
- Some aluminum foil
- A pen
- A ton of big tape
- A cutter
- And you’ll need some hard glue.

This is by far the wierdest DIY I’ve ever come across.
I have been talking about doing this experiment for a long time, but have never gotten to it until this weekend. It is possible to process your own film using coffee. Hard to believe, I know, but it works. The other ingredient besides vitamin C and coffee is washing soda. It was a little hard to track down, but you might look in the laundry section of your local grocery store. Here is a YouTube video showing how it is done: [via Found Photography]
