Doug Smith

Still another diffuser attempt. This is more to my liking. It is bounce with the bottom half of a Hunts catsup bottle over the flash head producing something of the same effect we used to get with a bare tube flash. There is a weak shadow behind the subject (note foot on refrigerator edge) but it is less objectionable than the frosted milk jug last tried. This one also has the advantage of looking less like what it is. The clear bottle cuts out some ligh but not as much as other things I tried.

Fine moment capture. Have you tried FEC with the Russian hack? I like the diffuser idea. I have also tried a yellow sock over my flash. Actually, not achieved anything like you have done. Good work and thanks for the tips.
