I like the perfectionist thingy.. Lol. Next time people ask why im still single then ill say coz picky & perfectionist.

Well, I guess it is more prominent in people who takes superb macro shots that like you sifu haha XD XD Sure took a lot of effort and patience
Anyway Nikon sifus I would like to ask you guys for some advice. I remembered asking this before in the previous thread but I am still kind of not really getting anywhere T___T
My question is how to take good (or at least decent) photos of people in the dark (no place to bounce flash and I don't have tripod/umbrella)? I remembered the sifus recommended applying the in-built bounce card on my SB700 and shoot at full power pointing upwards. The results were acceptable I guess, but still not very good (I'm not denying it might be my skills at fault here haha) so I've made a larger bounce card and developed a very weird way of shooting ever since @_@
For the time being I use a self-made big@ss bounce card I made specifically for my Bali trip

I
shoot preach like this
and I get shots like this.
I'm probably doing it inappropriately, or it can be better (cause the bounce card only has a very limited spread of light) and I was wondering whether the kind sifus here can give some advice or suggestions? Does softboxes actually helped in this cases?
Thinking of going to iCity one day, never been there before, might need a proper flash technique there, especially around the light trees based on what I've seen from my friends' photos
Thanks in advance sifus
Sorry for the long message. I'm kind of long-winded T_T
