Do you diffuse your flash when using it on camera for fill?
I rarely shoot with on camera flash and would mostly do so for fill. I'm currently using two different DIY foam diffusers (pictured below). The short one is used frequently off camera to bounce light off ceilings and walls. The bigger one gets very little use and was designed for those scenarios when white-ish ceilings and walls aren't available (outdoors or when ceilings are too dark of too high). Actually, I don't remember when I last used it.
Anyway, I'm discovering the some group shots, such as basketball team photos after a game, might benefit from a little fill.
I do have the RoundFlash that I've used on occasion. It's a great ring light, but can get awkward at events when speed is important.
With the introduction of the Fstoppers Flash Disc, I have become more intrigued with alternatives. Still, when subjects are 7-10 feet away (which is common for me), I wonder about their usefulness when there is nothing around to bounce the flash.
What do you use -- if anything?
Forgot to post the photos. And I posted two of the same photo -- oops.
