![]() ![]() I would never shoot people with direct flash after using my BBC, even outdoors (I've successfully angled my flash and let the large bounce card act as a reflector, softening the light). It's nice to have some diffusion, but at the expense of batteries and recharge times. Unless you're talking about direct flash then I agree to an extent. There was no chance of successful bounce in that room, yet I got nice soft lighting (relatively speaking) from a large BBC I made. I also did some shooting in a lodge that had ~40' ceilings that were brown timber-frame. For one, it's nice to be able to throw some white light forward when bouncing off odd-colored walls and ceilings. I did quite a bit of testing after making my BBC, and there is definitely a difference in light quality. I photograph Receptions and Birthday Parties in dark venues regularly, and have never had the need for any of these flash modifiers or diffusers, imo they just add bulk for no benefit There's nothing they do that you can't with just a bare flash. I have Stofens, Better Bounce Cards and Demb Flipits, but I never bother to use them, I tried them once and dumped them into the drawer at home.
