buzzski Member 45 posts Joined Apr 2009 More info | May 01, 2011 05:07 | #1 Hi, I recently sold my 580's in favour of smaller 430's. My Lightsphere diffuser doesn't fit so well on them - wasn't great on the 580's either to be honest but am looking to see what stofen type diffusers anyone is using on the smaller guns and if they are any good. Any comments appreciated. Ta, Craig

There was no ceiling overhead, only the sky... One of the best strategies is to bounce off of your surroundings. There may not have been a ceiling but those t-shirts would have been a perfect surface to bounce off  This second photo shows the reverse angle. Use the guy I highlighted as the reference point. I ended up bouncing off the gold bar on the gazebo thingy shown below:  Which got me photos like this:  The subjects have some specular highlights on their heads and faces from ambient lighting, but nevertheless the lighting on the most part is soft and natural looking especially for the small bouncing service used. A diffuser will just give crappy direct flash as the bounce component would have failed. Another example where I found a patch of wall next to a window:  Another example Wedding Photography Melbourne
