Exhausted Jason started declaring ceasefire while peeking at the war between me and CCL, only to find that the time has almost reached 12. I took out my DIY Flash Bouncer and attempt it on Jason and below is what came out.
Also, I managed to snap some pictures of Exam hall, Mosque, Lecture Hall and the quiet street at night.
It was indeed a lucky night because CCL was willing to model for me in order to fulfill the experiment on my paper board DIY flash bouncer test which was mentioned in the previous post. So so sorry to have made him look dull throughout the modeling session, which was done outdoor.
My conclusion is, the DIY bouncer is half complete. There wasn't any softening effect on the flash and in the end, the person's face still come out overly glossy. I think I should have the almost correct construct, but the material isn't appropriate enough because what it does is merely encounter the coming flashlight and bounce it towards the object in higher lightness, which makes the object looks whiter as can be seen. It is lacking of some softening intermediate like silk to completely demolish the glossy look.

Umm.. since u have a flash.. u might wanna step down ur shutter speed to about 1/5 or less (or more) to catch the background light.. ISO maintain at 400 max..
anyway if you are taking night pix with shutter at 1/60... u would end up using a PnS...
if you find the flash is to harsh at 1/5... lower down your flash exposure in ur camera manual below the above the picture style.. try it... i might come out with a tutorial on night photography..
BTW, the effect of soft box (be it DIY or Buy) wont do much effect on a night outdoor shooting... as there is noting/less for the flash to bounce off from (if unless u are in a room) dont belive me? try shooting in ur room or tv room or even dewan kuliah(where the ceiling is high) compare with outdoor night shoots... u sure see big different.. for me.. i use the onbord bounce card or just simply usie my build in flash.. :) no need to carry heavy stuff.. :P
Thanks Josh...
