Shashvat, If you want to experiment a bit, I 've some suggestions for you.
There's a great material called 'Fimo' that's like moulding clay but that you can 'cook' in the oven afterwards and it turns into hard plastic. There's one translucid (number 010, but I'm not sure. you've to look for a lightbulb icon on the cover). With it you could make an omnibounce-like cap to fit your flash perfectly. Nevertheless, the omnibounce is not really a big help in most cases. It works in very specific situations (small rooms, low ceiling, white walls) and as you mentioned, it picks colour casts from the walls. [[ Side note: For those people always quoting that "if the journalists always use them, even outside, it should be good". Well, the only use they have is to create catchlights in the subject's eyes, not to soften the light anyhow ]] A worthy project would be to make something like a Lumiquest BigBounce (www.lumiquest.com). It works wonders on the light quality of your flash and you don't loose that much power making the light bounce arround. For best effects, combine it with a OSCS-2 to take the flash off-camera and place it on a more natural position relative to your subject/model (baby? ;-) Hope it helps. -regards, Gerard. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
