"People can photograph anything from moss on the walls to shadows on the ground. If you can see beauty in these subjects, then you can create beauty for others to appreciate." --- LEE LIM

Took this picture for the
Digital Photography School weekly assignment. The topic for week 18 Aug ~ 1 Sep is "Books". Browsed through the postings by other forumers and many are very interesting. I looked to my bookshelves to see if I have any interesting book to feature and
"The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" written by
Sogyal Rinpoche caught my eye.
I want to use my Canon
580EX II flash unit to light up a backdrop, or as a fill light, in conjunction with my
Alien Bees studio lights and was wondering if there is any way to trigger an off-camera 580EX II (manual mode) via standard optical flash.
UPDATE:
There was a design flaw with this DIY gel holder and I sincerely apologize. See Simple DIY Gel Holder version 2 for the flaw description and updated design.

I got myself
Rosco's "The Strobist Collection" 55 piece Cinegel Filter Kit and I need a gel holder for my Canon 580EXII flash unit.
