I need ask a question, what do you think the best material to use for diffusing the flash?

You'll notice that before this thread my flash technique was appalling
During the course I have used paper towels (kitchen roll) but fears of burning the flash unit stopped that although one my best photos used a paper towel diffuser. I next used small 12" lastolite type diffusers that were free in Amateur photographer, these are made of nylon sheet similar to lightweight waterproof coats. The small diffusers are great but sometimes not large enough. I have now invested in a medium/large 38" lastolite, also made of nylon sheet and works best of all because of its size. Don's large lastolite has a cotton based cloth as the diffuser material rather than a nylon polymer. Providing the material spreads light out and evenly then there will be little difference in the end result.
