Blown out faces. I Reduce the flash but then get a dim image. Any advice?

[QUOTE="paul_b, post: 221797, member: 15676"] Ok, my latest thinking: I've bought a universal flash diffuser from a photo shop (see pic) and have used it on my external flash with it pointing directly at my child. I have to admit the images are looking a lot better. The faces no longer have a blown out look to them. The light seems a lot more even & natural. I think i prefer this method for home photos compared to bouncing the flash off the ceiling because with the diffuser method there is minimal colour casts compared to the bouncing method. I'm now looking into buying some better quality diffusers too and trying them out. [ATTACH=CONFIG]60001._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
