[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 174845, member: 15426"] Hi Don, With all my cameras, when I use a flash (SB 900), it is always with the original dome AND a diffusor. Alone, my flash heads may be focused or zoomed. With the original dome, it is set automatically to 14 mm. This means a lot of lost light. Therefore, the addition of the diffusor that will redirect the light towards the subject without any harsh shadows. This has proven a better solution than anything else because the setup is not fragile, less cumbersome, lighter, battery gentle, and far less expensive than others that I have tried. [url=http://www.expoimaging.com/product-detail.php?cat_id=13&product_id=21&keywords=_Rogue_FlashBenders&gclid=CN220_3ww7gCFUJa3godHh8APQ]ExpoImaging - Rogue FlashBenders[/url] [FONT=Courier New][I][COLOR="#800000"][B]I noticed that she had a diffuser dome on her flash and that the flash was pointing either up or sometime slightly back but never at the subject. Some of these were under a tent so I can see that there would have been some bounce but she was doing the same thing when not under the tent. Was the effect more of a bare bulb just to fill in slight shadows?[/B][/COLOR][/I][/FONT] I am not quite sure (I haven't seen the working conditions)! You and I understand very well what she was doing in the tent but for the outside shots…~. One thing I'm sure of is that I hate to see that flash light was used for shot. You know you've use your flash right when you don't see it! The original filter holder is not useless… see: [URL="http://nikonites.com/photo-feedback/15261-motorcycle-study.html#post174676"]http://nikonites.com/photo-feedback/15261-motorcycle-study.html#post174676[/URL] [/QUOTE]
