Poor Man's Flash

The image on the left was shot with the on-board flash, using a
folded business card and rubber band to direct the flash toward
the ceiling. The shot on the right was shot without the business card.

Looks like it works pretty good. The light is even.

It hangs on the business card. I guess you have a lot of titles ;-)

Gee... your site is becoming another DP Review! ;-)

Looks like it works well. Nice tip. I'll have to try that. I have also wrapped a folded tissue over the on-board flash to create a poor man's diffuser. The more folds, the more it diffuses.
