Hey /p/, I just built myself that DIY lightbox on strobist I'm sure you all know about.
http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html

Fucking awesome. I didn't have a remote flash though but i did have an old Canon Speedlite 188A so I just set it all up in a dark room, had my P&S do a 3.2 sec. exposure then popped the flash manually. It took a few tries because I had to properly set the distance from the side of the box to the flash.

Pic related, it's my cheap cellphone that simply works. A great representation for all of my things.

Here's the box itself. The sides are onion paper, the backdrop is a long sheet of paper, all held together by duct tape. Excuse the messy room.

Killer results!

Your speedlight doesn't have a slave function? What I've been experimenting with is using the fujifilm film canister diffuser on the popup flash at like 1/16 or even 1/64 strength to trigger the slave flash. Two light sources, both diffused. I've gotten some pretty nice results, but I haven't tried this lightbox yet.

Sweet

Unfortunately, my Speedlite is kinda old and went with my Canon A-1 (pictured>>211469next to the lightbox) so it's fully manual. I've figured out the settings so it's just trial and error now.

Pic related. I saved some onion paper to cover the inside of the diffusing cup because it's too transparent but the D70s I usually use it on is pretty much dead now so I'll have to wait.

btw, only lighting for this was the ceiling lamp way above. That's why the 5 sec exposure.

I botched the lighting on this one. See>>211557. I'm sure if I flashed from the side, I would've brought out the curvaceousness.
