    Default  DIY-ABBC Unlimate Bounce Card  
      
      

    I used SlvrScoobie's idea to use the cool foam and I made my own ABBC product. Works pretty well for 59 cents haha. Just cut it to size and hot glue gunned it together at a size that fits my flash.


    Mine:




    Original:


    I also made a bigger "card" but it seems too harsh so I used the one that's in the photo


    Example 1(with):


    Example 2(without):

    For some reason your bounce card makes her not smile. Fix that pronto!


    Great stuff though

    I'm not sure I understand the reason for the large black...

    I get that this allows you to use the bounce sideways or underneath, so I understand the whole point to the mod. But I'm missing why it's so much larger than the white card...

    why do you need/want the black part up above the white bit?

    It shields onlookers from being flash-blinded haha

    How? If they are behind the flash, they won't see it anyhow. If they are in front... they still see it.

    yeah, I'm just asking because I've used the index card trick before and wondered what the black adds to it (basically if it's worth trying to make).
