•Good results are most easily achieved when the flash head is tilted up to use the ceiling as a reflecting surface.
•Rotate the flash head horizontally to get the same effect when the camera is held in the vertical position.
•Illumination can be softened further when the light is bounced off a ceiling or wall behind the camera, as opposed to in front of the camera.
•Select white and highly reflective surfaces to bounce the light off. Otherwise, image colors will be influenced by the color of the reflecting surface.
•Avoid illuminating the subject directly to achieve successful bounce flash photography.
•The recommended distance between the flash head and the reflecting surface is approximately 1 m to 2 m (3.3 ft to 6.5 ft), but this number may vary depending on photographic conditions.
•If the reflecting surface is not close enough, a piece of
