Re: (pictures): Phewwww&thanks folks

Not bad. I assume you used your 2450 for scanning. Do prefer scanning the proofs over the negatives?

Both bounce devices did their job. I can see the bride's blue eyes, that's a good sign.

I made a similar bouncer from a 1/2 liter bottle of vinegar. Works like a charm and it fits all (4) my flashes.

Link to 5 pictures i scanned from the proofs.No adjustments made,so you can see any (if any)difference between the Pocket bouncer and my home made omni bounce.
The top two of the bride/groom are pocket bounce,the bottom 3 using the homemmade(at 90 degree)
EQ:SP A 50 1.7 AF280T,Lumiquest Pocket Bouncer,DJB omni bounce(thank you Canadian Tire bug juice jugs)
Comments welcome.
If link does not work look for me in photo.net folder is called Big 8 Hitchin.

Got my wedding rolls back last night.Pheww they turned out not to bad.Thanks to Tom V and Pat White for their off list help and

tips.I

used the Lumiquest pocket bouncer & af280t for roll one,the ceremony,ailse walk,book signing etc.Nice soft light but maybe

1/2

stop underexposed on a few were i was back a bit.
Roll two i put on a home made diffuser i made froma a windshield washer jug and shot the flash at 90.These were better,more light

on

the subjects from a bit farther away.No harsh face burn etc.This

was

made in haste as i could not find a omni bounce in time.I'll

retool

it later.
All exposures were with flash in TTL,camera on M and ap. btwn 4

and

5.6 depending on room light and at 1/60 shutter.It was quite dark,only soft "mood" light and spill off from the bar<g>so most

of

the latter were at 5.6 for focus help.

Just have to develop the B&W candids next week in class.Shot

those

with the K1000 and a Vivitar 636af flash.If i did not make any

ap.

mistakes they should be ok to.

Thanks again folks for the help.Truly a great list.
I'll scan a few and post them on Photo.net asap for the "pto" comments<g>

Dave
