I’ve written before about all the creative ways you can diffuse your camera’s flash in order to get better photos indoors, but I really like the sheer simplicity of The Party Bouncer, a technique I came across on DIYPhotography.net.
In just five seconds, with two simple cuts, you can mount a standard white business card on the metallic hinges of your on-camera flash, as seen in the picture above. Sure, it looks a bit hokey, but check out the before and after pictures in the article.
Once you’ve got the card affixed to your camera, the light from your flash will bounce to the ceiling above your subject, creating a diffused light and an overall illumination in your picture, free of the harsh effects that are often visible when relying on a direct flash. Pretty amazing, if you ask me!
