Flash Bounce Diffuser
Posted on Monday, July 19, 2010 in Photography
Are the bounce/diffuser flash accessories by lumiquest worth it?
Since I got my external flash, I've seen lots of these flash accessories by lumiquest and other manufacturers
Once is the sto-fen that looks like a piece of tupperware I put at the end of the flash. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00078JT0C/sr/ref=pd_cp_p_2/104-7074266-3124713?ie=UTF8&qid=1192644885&sr=1-4&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=1THCJC06NXCDK7RDT0T3&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=250314001&pf_rd_i=B000QD392C
Another is the pro-max system, particulary the 80/20 device that bounces 80% of the light and throws 20% of it forward

My Question:
Are these devices worth it? I'm no professional, but I'd like to make my shots look as best as possible without fancy equipment. I also shoot lots of indoor shots at parties and other events.
What is your opinion on them?
I havent used the ones you mentioned, I tend to make my own light modifiers. Its as much a learning thing for me, as me just being cheap.
Anyway, if you go to http://strobist.blogspot.com/ there will be lots of info on modifiers of all kinds, and other things.
