An ancient Sunpak auto30dx always bounced off a wall for direction -  
try and avoid the ceiling which loses any sense of directional light.
In situations like this I'm constantly twisting the head to match the  
direction that most closely approximates the actual ambient light  
direction in the room. Also using as much ambient light as possible  
to avoid the dreaded (hate it) dark background that (thoughtless)  
flash will want to hand out.

Regards,
