Ok, but would moving the flash up a bit be better? I'm not sure I'd shoot any portraits with the flash so low. And besides, moving the light up puts the shadow lower and lights up the face nicer. And that's what kills ceiling bounce for me, the eye sockets are shadowed and need fill. Which is what the Omnibounce is designed for. It not only bounces up buy shooting some fill directly out, when it's tilted 60 degrees. I thought you said you bounced off the ceiling? How can that make sidelighting shadows? -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography: http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits: http://www.easternbeaver.com/ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
