For this photo, I wanted to direct the bare flash straight out to photographer's right. To do this I had to remove the camera from the tripod. I moved closer to where there was more of a bare wall onto which I could bounce the light. As can be seen, this produces a very distinct, more appealing portraiture oriented directional light patten on the face. Again, color cast is being picked up from the wall coloring. An ideal situation would be to have an assistant to hold a large, neutral reflector from which to bounce the light. At any rate, an easy color correction tool such as the WhiBal would take care of the color issue easily. The main purpose of these bare flash tests are to show you can often create better photos without the pricy diffusers.
