hi there i would like to ask when to use a bounce card? and diffusion dome? any specific application tia :)

Hi there Don,

Usually these items are used to soften the light produced by your flash by redirecting the light and having it bounce around the ceiling, wall, etc. Direct flash is usually pretty harsh.

tnx marton

actually im having a problem using these two diffuser. sometimes i have good results using a bounce card and sometimes not (usually under exposed). same situation using a diffusion dome. i already did some test shots w/ the same subject and same settings come-up w/ the same results (flash in ttl-bl, 0 ev) sort of a hit/miss in given situation. any advice what particular scenario when to use a bounce card/diffusion dome or maybe have some test shots before deciding which one to use. again tnx in advance

@ don

input based on personal experience.

i do get consistent results with the bounce card. its great to use in opening up some shadows for low ceiling venues and lots of walls. i used to encounter some difficulties with it when i shoot on portrait mode.. but with a little experimentation you'll be able to get consistent results (even without a bracket).

i do use the diffusion dome on outdoor shoots (direct flash / fill).

based from experience - very good combination with matrix metering.:)

tnx for the tip levi. i need to practice more and do some experiments.
