I have been very hesitant to take photos of night party
events because I do not have the proper flash and diffuser yet. Built-in flashes
are always too harsh when it comes to taking indoor photos so I have always
turned them off. But if I turn them off, my photos end up being blurry because
of the slower shutter speed.
Finally, I was able to read a tip from Digital Photography School website. It includes 11 DIY light alternatives and the light diffuser is one of them.
Here are the things that I used:
a white business card
a pair of scissors
On the narrow side of the card, cut flaps that are wide enough to fit the card to the sides of the built-in flash. You can bend the card upwards so that the light will be bounced to the ceiling. Voila--instant diffuser!
Here are sample photos with and without the diffuser with the same settings. Thank you Steven for agreeing to be my guinea pig!
