On camera soft boxes
Has anybody any idea where I can get an on camera soft box in UK? I've seen a couple from the US, but not comfortable ordering from there.
As cats are my main area of interest I don't have time to set up a studio type rig (I wish), but have to follow the 'model'. I know some do, but my thing with any animal is let it be what it is. For eg: You chose a cat, let it be a cat. Ripping up your furniture? Tough. I don't want to tell any animal to do anything, unless its going to hurt itself. Anything considered (apart from nailing their paws to the table)

There's plenty of this kind of gadget for sale on ebay for pin money. Can't say that any of this kind of thing has a particularly good reputation for pleasing effects though. I suggest you'll get better shots by waiting until the model is in a location where there is enough natural light to achieve a good result. On-camera flash is something to be avoided in the vast majority of cases, regardless of any diffuser fitted.

I agree about avoiding on camera flash and just using natural light, I try to do that when ever possible, but sometimes it's just not possible. I have seen the E-bay stuff and wasn't impressed so I was hoping for some recomendations for something to fit on my Canon 430 EX (perhaps I should have mentioned that?).
Looks like I'll have to set up a semi permanent rig by the kitchen window. Sure to impress Mrs. deci
