Ever since coming across this Strobist tutorial, I’ve wanted to make my own flash snoot. I had some free time this weekend and an empty cereal box, so I decided to give it a try. After tracking down a pair of scissors and some duct tape I was ready to go. Ten minutes later I had a functional cereal box snoot.

Here’s the finished product. Some people go all out and setup Velcro connections for a more secure attachment to the flash head, but I didn’t want to go into that much detail. I didn’t have any trouble with it sliding around when shooting.

In the picture below, you can see how it allows you to aim the light. I was about 4 feet from the wall.

Not a bad deal for using things you probably have lying around the house. Next I’m going to put together a homemade grid spot to attach to the snoot.
