DIY Photo Snoot

From the MAKE Flickr pool:
Member Chris Metcalf constructed this flash snoot from corrugated cardboard and gaffer tape.
Although it may sound like the name of a Dr. Suess character, a snoot is a sort of choke used in photography to limit the spread of light from a flash. Snoot's can create an eerie vignetting effect or dramatic highlight - and can be constructed from recycled household items.

A friend of mine created a tutorial on Instructables for making black straw grid snoots for the Vivitar 285HV strobes, a budget friendly strobe popularized by Strobist.com

It's painstakingly photo-documented and includes measurements to take any of the guesswork out of making a grid snoot.
