[QUOTE="Bossman, post: 95891, member: 11665"] I have done that way since I went Digital about 15 years ago. With the Bronica and Blad the camera stayed put, I shot on 6cmx6cm. I made my own bounce reflector out of some white modellers plasticard and that was that. The item on ebay that I posted was so cheap and saved the carry on of making a one. As for my tripod, I still cannot handhold my camera as still as a tripod. I only have about 4 lenses that are VR anyway. The tripod still marks out MY territory when I'm working. When you work hand held as soon as you move from your spot to set up another group then the guests close in and are all where you want be. I simply tell the guests, take pictures if you want but do not stray in front of my camera or distract my clients in any other way. Once I have the couple away from the guests I then move to more handheld working. By the way those reflectors on ebay are held on with an elastic strap with velcro fastening, so no taking on and off to re-position, grab it and just twist it round to the new position. We all have our own ways and means and, if what works for one individual then that is fine. It's nice to share things that sometimes can make an instant impact to somebodies work. [/QUOTE]
