The blof features many how-to articles on how to achieve various techniques on a budget. This is a must see site for anyone involved in photography at all.
One article that I read recently detailed how to build your own 'Beauty dish' for $15 with items purchased from Home Depot. This immediately made a fan of me and I was hooked into doing this myself. I won't go into the hardware specifics, you can read them here. I'll just say that despite some minor variances, I pulle dthis off very well and am loving the results.
I took this to a friend's party recently to test it out...while this is simply too dorky to carry around by hand, and not terribly professional looking, it does a great job & I will definately keep using this for portraits...here is what it looks like....




...and here are some images shot with it so far...
