I wanted to look for a diffuser for my flash, on the advice of my friend he asked me to just use a bloody card first and learn up my technique, and lo what do I find online? A Better Bounce Card!
And I wasn't sure how well it worked since indoors, in a house with a low ceiling it was hard to tell the difference between a bounce flash or a diffused flash. But then I got this pair of shots at the Visual Studio launch today.
On the left, no flash the scene is lit mainly by the blue screen behind the person. On the right, with the bounce card. The effect is nice, the blue lighting is still there and yet it's not a harsh flash spotlight. Picture I didn't get, a shot with normal direct flash at the stage.
Considering all I use was a piece of photo paper with 3 cuts... COOL! Now to find that foam material the guy was talking about in the website, think I can find it at some arts and crafts or scrapbook shops.
