Fun with flashes

So, was going to just do a quicken today, I am shattered after the completion of Good Vibrations Charity event that I put on last night (we raised an EPIC £3610!), so grabbed the camera and started to shoot pictures of the balloon I was given by my friends yesterday as a well done (aww).

I found it was too dull without the flash, but the flash kept bouncing of the metallic material and ruining my picture, so started putting pieces of paper/card in front of the flash and enjoyed the results... so tried other things too, bubble wrap, fabric, card, coloured glass, big yellow hair pieces I have and enjoyed seeing the pictures transform. I was AMAZED at the differences simple things could make to the picture.

My favourite was a red piece of fabric that I needed up pinning around the flash and got this pic. The flash still bounced off the material so cropped it out.

Ended up pleased with the result and had a lot of fun in the process.

yay for daily pictures.

I did take some pictures yesterday as well, but my compact is somewhere buried in my bags of stuff, so will back blip a picture soon.
