In the absence of a suitably-coloured wall to bounce your flash, you can use a bounce card (see below - I made this up from cardboard as mine is on loan to a friend - best if they are all white ) and the light bounces off the card and arrives diffused at the subject.

If, like me, you take a combination of LANDSCAPE and PORTRAIT orientation photos, then the above setup will be problematic as it's only suitable for LANDSCAPE because in PORTRAIT it will bounce off the side which maybe a person, a dark wall, a field, anything.
A solution is to turn the head of the flash 90° on the horizontal axis and mount your bounce card as shown below. With this setup switching between landscape and portrait orientation (see next 2 images) is a doddle and always points to the subject as all you have to do is swivel the flash leaving the card always orientated to the front (try it out). Works a treat for me during a fast-action wedding shoot when I switch all the time between the 2 orientations. Hope this helps


Enjoy shooting the new-born - we have a 6-month-old in the family and they are a treat to photograph.

Love those magnetic light modifiers - if only they were a little cheaper and you could buy the parts individually instead of the "bundles" they decided to offer..
I have two mag mod grids and the gels too
