Hey Myles, I love your informative videos that covers many aspects of nightclubbing. It helped a great deal! I do have one question I would like to ask. I have the Omnibounce, but like you said, it doesn't work to well when shooting in a portrait position. I am currently looking for a substitute and have my eye on three of Gary Fong's diffuser. Which of these three would you suggest:

1. Lightsphere Collapsible Dome

2. Lightsphere Inverted Dome Cloud

3. Lightsphere Inverted Dome half cloud

@SamuelYCWang I like the half cloud, although I'm using a combination of techniques these days and not relying solely on 1 diffuser.

Hey how's it goin? I just wanted to know what kind of speedlite are you using for your demonstration of flash diffusers in this video?

@aeroview213 It's a 580ex II.

Very awesome info... have you used the Lumiquest products? Are they worth it or it creates a better lighting?

[nightclubphoto]

Thanks for the comment! I've used Lumiquest products, and from time to time, I will use their Pocket Bounce. It all depends on your own personal style. I have used their pocket bounce and 80/20, but not their other diffusers. Personally, I find the pocket bounce to deliver a more 'punchy' kind of light. So, when I want that effect, I will use the pocket bounce.

Awesome info man. Also, you should do a workout video. I need to get biceps like you!

[persuazn]

Great video! What do you think about that FlashRight diffuser?

I have a Canon 7D...and am now pretty low on funds when it comes to getting all these little extras I need. Whats your opinion on pop up flash diffusers? xx

@dubgiant90 The 430 is typically more than enough.

Thanks. This was really helpful. I do have one question. Does the Gary Fong lightsphere work well in rooms with high ceilings and/or dark ceilings? Does the disk inside the sphere work as a bouncer?

What would you recommend for such a situation?
