Hi Cotty,

When I first started bouncing off the ceiling, I discovered that on many
shots, there was no catchlight in the eyes and dark shadows under the
chin. E.g.

I found that there were many possible solutions, from Stofen, Lumiquest,
Lastolite, etc. For me an Omnibounce works well. I guess another solution
would be to buy a dual-tube flash:

Here is another, cheaper solution for a 580EX:
