This is outdoors with the flash angled up at 45 degrees, with the diffuser on. Pretty acceptable for non-bounce flash I think.

I’m shooting my very first event next week. Its in a venue with high (non-white) ceilings so I won’t be able to rely on bounce-flash. So I was playing with the various direct flash options tonight while out at dinner.

This one is Nicole reviewing some fancy shoes :)
