I can buy a LOT of ping pong balls for $19.95 that probably work just as well.

Puffer--reminds me of when my husband lies on his back, dozes off and starts puffing--breathing in through his nose and puffing out his mouth..drives me nuts.

Try a toy baseball? How about one of the clear 35mm film canisters. I think it was Fuji film that came in them.

I didn't think of the baseball. Don't they usually have a bunch of holes in the plastic ones though? I don't think the film canister would fit either. I have a black one around here somewhere, I'll try it to see if it fits, then if it works, buy a roll of film in the clear.

How about a standard golf ball? Obviously, you might need to increase FEC a notch.

I don't think so. You might have to buy a toy bat with it, bu shouldn't cost more than a dollar or two.

The baseballs with the holes are Whiffle® balls -- solid plastic ones are available too. For a film canister, just go to a one-hour photo developer and they will probably be glad to give you some from their recycling bin ... they are not usually reused or returned. If it doesn't fit, you might try slitting it up one side so it can be spread out a little.

I thought one cut a notch/hole in the side and placed it on the flash with the cap to one side.
