Description
We had to take portraits for my photo class, so i was experimenting with lights n stuff - problem is, i don't really have any advanced things to make my photo's cooler! ..other than my camera ofcourseand all tutorials on photoshoots i've seen always included some super expensive stuff~
Well - i hope this helps!

Best tutorial in the world god bless. (No seriously, turning the flash on and off is just too time wasting!

Hmmm... Haven't tried a plastic cup - am going to do that.Β Have put my flash up andΒ placed a piece of toilet paper over it - decent effect, and usually, can be found nearby if it tears or you forget, etc.

That option does exist! But because it changes the shutter speed, photo's usually come out blurry

I never thought of the cup idea! I like the soft effect. I used to use bounce laundry sheets to soften my flash. It works but it's a pain to hold stuff in front of the built in flash. *sigh* One day we will afford proper lighting kits! One day!Β Β

I found that a CD made my room much lighter overall while giving the top of my subject light, rather than the side or front. It made for a very interesting effect when there were no other lights on.

That's a great idea! Much more handy than running 'round with cups for your camera xD
