I'm going to send you in a completely opposite direction...
Get rid of the OmniBounce and get a Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord. Hold the camera in your right hand and hold the flash in your left hand, aimed directly at the subject at arms-length with your left arm raised at about a 45° angle between horizontal and vertical.
This gets the flash up above the lens and also to the left of the lens. I've shot a couple of weddings this way and the results are dramatically different than any on-camera setup, no matter what kind of bounce gear you use.
You can also do the same trick wirelessly if you have a 550EZ another 580EZ or an ST-E2. If you have a second flash, put it on-camera with the intensity 2-stops (maybe 1-stop) darker than the flash in your hand. It will give you additional fill in the shadows.
The problem with the OmniBounce or any bounce technique is that you are very dependent on the room (size, height and color of ceiling). You avoid this with direct flash. You could soften the direct flash with something like a Micro-Apollo, but I've never used one.
I'd show you an example, but they were all on film and I don't have any scans.
Try it, you'll like it! Mr. Bill * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
