580EX Bounce Flash for Vertical Pictures

[Aurorax0]

I like how Canon has built that white card into the 580EX, but when you ceiling bounce flash for vertical pictures with your 580EX (or ceiling bounce for vertical or horizontal for the 550EX or others) has anyone found a good product to use to redirect a little light to get rid of the shadow from the ceiling bounce? I've used index cards with rubber bands and comic book backing boards with velcro and even (in a pinch) my hand. It's interesting that most non-photographers actually like the hand ones (it looks as if you've added one - or two - warming filters). Anything out there especially made for this?

How do you get rid of the dark circles under people's eyes? Maybe my friends just get less sleep than yours do.

A few things -

Use the stroboflip VH2000 flash bracket (flash extension code required).

And then use the stofen omnibounce on the flash.

That should work.

Oh, and vitamin A and iron rich foods helps relieve dark circles under the eyes as it is usually caused by an iron deficiency. Other things can cause the iron deficiency that would need more attention (bleeding ulcers, worms etc.)

I use Lightsphere II. It does decent job without flash bracket. LSII does bit better job than Sto-fen when used in portrait mode. Using flash bracket with off camera cord is cumbersome so I just use LSII.
