Soooo, if white reflector reflects light, the black doesn't... it absorbs
it. So why point your flash at it?
No, I don't have flash works, never seen it, but I'd love to take a look
(probably... is it even any good?) ...but at the EOS 3 prochures, the have
a setup where they point one of the flashes to a black reflector... Why?
So, it's called a black _reflector_ ... does it then reflect light? If it
does, then is it more diffuse, is it colored? If neither, then isn't it
the same as having normal setup with less flash power? If the black
reflector absorbs the light, then pointing the flash to it is useless. Or
if you use it to "absorb" (probably more to shade and not reflect any
more) of the ambient light, then did somebody at Canon misunderstod it
also, as they claim pointing a flash to it.
Sounds like lots of confusion here... :-)
