Last update by Richard on 2012-01-05

My interests include portraits, live concerts and street photography. I like multi-flash lighting and available-light photography. My cameras are a Canon EOS 450D, a FujiFilm F30 point-and-shoot, and a 40-year old analogue Rollei B 35. But let's face it: I'm a digital guy, I use the Canon DSLR for most pictures.

Bounce Card/Beauty Dish for DSLR Built-in Flash
[Bouncecard for the built-in flash]
Miniature bouncecard for the built-in flash

When shooting party pictures with flash, you either bounce the light off the ceiling or use a home-made better bouncecard. However, what if you want a similar effect with the camera's built-in flash?

Here is a simple solution that I came up with. Compared to the mini softboxes and similar accessories that you can buy online for the built-in flash, it is more robust, much cheaper (2€) and very compact. Read more...

I consider this to be the best picture I have taken so far. Ironically, it was taken during my first shooting ever, only a few days after I had bought my first DSLR. Natural light only.
