Here's the video, if you can not view it just follow this link to watch it on YouTube.
Here are two sample images I took this morning to demonstrate the kind of light I got from my DIY beauty dish. Click on either image to view larger and in a new window.
The first image was shot with an SB-800 using the Sto-Fen style diffuser that comes standard with it. Notice the harshness of the light and the sharp distinct shadows.
This image was shot with my beauty dish, the light is more diffuse, the shadows much softer, resulting in a better picutre.
