Black Coroplast Views
If you can't find black coroplast, you could always use black straws to make a gridspot. As mentioned above, they have talked about that on the Strobist. In Europe, or at least in Germany, Metro has black straws. It is like a Sams in the states; you need a card (or in my case a friendly colleague that will take you in). I wouldn't be surprised if Sams had black straws... If no one else checks that out, I will take a look in 2 months when I am home for Christmas.
I long while ago I bought some black coroplast (corrugated plastic) to make some grids for my flashes. I wasn't able to buy one sheet, so I have a lot of extra. Its been sitting in storage, and is no longer perfectly flat, but I think that in the strip sizes needed for a flash grid it would work fine. Let me know (Flickr Mail) if you want some for free. I have like 5 sheets of it I think. I'm located in south Austin, near the south congress area just below the lake. Posted at 11:50AM, 2 August 2010 PDT ( permalink )
