May 14, 2008 14:46 | #19 A lot of discussion about diffusing light. I guess it depends on your definition but the way i see it any time light from the source strikes an object, whether it bounces off or travels through, it gets diffused... as long as the object it is striking is not refocusing the light, like a fresnel lens or similar. Reflected light off a surface has been diffused to some degree. Now a mirror might not diffuse much, but even mirrors are not perfect reflections argueably. 5DmkII, 5DmkIII, 5DS R, 15mm, 16-35 f/2.8 II L, 100 Macro f/2.8 L, 70-200 f/2.8 L IS, 85 f/1.8, 580EX II, 580EX, 550EX

Without it the bounced flash can cause some unflattering shadows under people's eyes. The diffuser spreads the light up and forward. Ian

I have to get me one of these as well. I was in a bar that had a dark wooden ceiling the other week. It was a PITA getting the custom white balance just right. A pocket bouncer would have been perfect. Ian
