To prevent direct flash from\nstriking your subject being photographed. If your subject can see any light\nemanating from the flash, they will be hit by this direct light. Many\nphotographers don't realize that when they turn the flash head to bounce the\nlight, they are still blasting direct flash at the subject being photographed.\nThis in effect ruins the beautifully bounced light.What zoom setting should I\nuse to bounce light? Use the longest zoom setting (200mm or 105mm) available\non your flash.Can I add a piece of white or reflective material inside the\neclipse to reflect light outward? You certainly can experiment with this, but\njust understand that if your subject can see any light emanating from the\nadditional reflective material, they will be hit by this direct light.Why not\njust use a snoot to block the light from the subject? A snoot will block too\nmuch light. For example, without a snoot, the bounced light on the ceiling\nmight be a 5-foot spot; with a snoot, 1 foot. Also, the lip of a snoot can\nreflect light (direct flash) especially when the inside is silver. In addition\nto that, the weight of some snoots can cause the snoot to break free from the\ndetents that hold your flash head at certain angles.Why not just use a flag or\nflags to block the light from the subject? You can, but you will have to\nmanage it. If your light or subject moves, you will have to make sure the flag\nis still working. You can use multiple flags, but you will still need to\nmanage them if the light or subject moves. You will need to be careful how the\nflags are used, so that they don’t block any more light than necessary. In\naddition, the weight of all this can be too heavy for the flash head to hold\nup.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eA unique light shield improves bounce-flash photography by automatically blocking direct flash, preventing it from reaching the subject being photographed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe patent-pending device is about the size of a baseball cap and weighs approximately 0.50 ounce (14 grams), while the shield itself weighs only 0.25 ounce (7.1 grams).
