On camera flash diffuser

[ddt0725]

For on camera flash, I have a few things that I use. The sto-fen is great as Neuro pointed out and I also use the Lumiquest Pocket Bouncer to bounce the flash off of the white background when a white ceiling isn't available, plus it came with a silver metallic and gold metallic inserts. I find the gold too strong though most of the time.

I also have a generic cloth softbox to attach to the speedlight when on-camera. I like the even lighting it produces and it comes in a small pouch to easily carry in the pocket of my camera bag.

I took this shot using it this morning ...

Nice doll. The light from this modifier looks good. With many light modifiers like softboxes for on camera they often block the auto focus assist beam.

Thanks, Mark. I did use my on-camera softbox tonight to test if it would cause any problems with blockiing the AF Assist Beam. After numerous shots, taking it off & putting it back on, different positions etc. it didn't cause any problems with blocking the beam.
