Just bend the card in half and use the rubber band to hold it on the flash and reflect the light wherever you want it. I usually put it under the flash to reflect the light up, but you can position it on the sides or top, too. It reflects just enough of the flash to take away some of that "flash" look. You can also get more diffusion if you buy one of those Sto-Fen diffusers and tape it to the flash. My hands shake at times, too. Try to learn to be a human tripod and brace yourself against whatever is near - and don't drink espresso :-) Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com images available from http://www.pdiphotos.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
