Added on March 7, 2011, 6:51 pmsometing like this : http://www.flickr.com/photos/peakoverload/2423264777/  Actually there are more to it.  make sure you shoot against a dark background and there are some mist / smoke so that that ray of light can reflect off the mist / smoke particles to give your that "beam of light" effect. best to do this during sunrise period where forest will tend to have mist. |

QUOTE(shootkk @ Mar 7 2011, 05:57 PM) Yup. Have you seen the F58AM's bounce card? That size is already enough. Point the flash head upwards when there's a ceiling. No ceiling then where to bounce the light wor... can show me a pic of that DIY diffuser of urs?..i gonna do wedding soon too..just wanna make sure i am fully know how to use the flashgun before doing it, else end up screw up things..Diffuser will come in handy when there is no ceiling or other surface to bounce light from but when I am faced with that situation I will use a blank, white A4 paper and fold it into half and strap that to my F42's flash head. Shot one wedding that way. and hor, iER..i found that went i switch off the flash, and try to meter the lighting, let say metering say 1/10 shutter..when i turned on the flash, the speed reading will up few stops..why ah?.. and i tried this too: -turn off flash, meter the ambient light on A mode F2.8 -set back same aperture and shutter on M mode.. -turn on F42 at AUTO power -outcome --->nicely lit but with warmer tones -turn off flash, meter the ambient light on A mode F2.8 -outcome --->nicely lit this way correct or not one?..lol..  |

sorry ah, i lack of sleep, so i read thing is blurry, so i try answer with proper writing also.
to gain BG light, boost iso is the best way. but if its still dark at iso1600, then ur background is really DARK even for 3200, all u end up seeing is noise. sometime by adjusting the right angle of the bounce can help brighten up properly the whole pic the gel is cheap only. but i lately busy not time make extra cards, once i free i make some bring KL sell, 1pcs (need break even my flight expenses )when u have a FLASH running, the AWB will turn to FlashWB, which is at 5500k, so u have to go inside and change it to custom WB and set to the proper (to your liking) temperature. u might like it to have more ambient feel then pure white.
