"flip-it!" flash attachment

I met a pro photographer today and he was using the "flip-it" attachment for his flash shots:

The results looked very good. I'm seriously thinking about getting one to replace my omni-bounce diffuser (which was quite useless).

Get some self adhesive Velcro and put strips of the soft side around the sides and top of your flash. Then make some fill cards out of white plastic. I have an old white corregated plastic election sign that I treasure for this. Put the hard Velcro on the card. Make the cards big - that's what makes the light soft. Now you can bounce the flash and use the cards for fill. It's cheap and it works great.

I use both the Stofen and the fill card approach as each has it's own stengths. I also use it with a Stroboframe Pro-T backet so I can keep it directly over the lens.
