Re: bounce or diffuse ... or try off-camera flash ...

Another but rather crude way to diffuse your flash is to get a 35mm film canister ( White semi transparent) cut it to fit it over the pop up flash yup it's ugly but it works, I carry one in my bag all the time just in case I need this crude form of a diffuser ... laugh if you like BUT it works

I tried this. Although I was real proud of myself for thinking of it, it just didn't work much better than a bare flash, for me at least.

When you get down to the nuts and bolts of photography, the results depend on the 'nut' behind the camera!

See the 'Gear List' in my 'Profile' for my current equipment.
