dslr's are great cameras for taking high quality photos and videos but carrying one around can be a bulky hassle not to mention if you're carrying around your external flash as well if you want to pack light leaving this at home might be your best option today I'm going to show you how to get great results using your camera's internal flash and a business card you probably found that the internal flash of your camera comes in handy when shooting indoors or in low-light but can sometimes be too harsh on your subjects and result in red eyes using a flash bounce allows you to deflect the light of the flash upwards to spread it around the room and fill things in better for example when I take a photo using just the flash by itself you can see how Irene's face is nice and bright maybe a little too bright but the background falls off to darkness and looks pretty murky now when I add the bounce card and take a shot she still looks good but now everything else in the shot is more evenly lit and natural-looking and much more appealing in my opinion there are products that you can buy that will work for your camera but why buy something when you can make it for free this trick works for most popular DSLR cameras like the canon rebels and select Nikon models as long as they have exposed hinges like this to make your own any standard size white business card will do to get started pop up the internal flash of your camera there's usually a button on the side that'll do that for you then take the business card and place the shorter side against the Hindoos of the flash you want to press hard enough so you get indents on the bottom of the card now take a pair of scissors and make two cuts about an inch long where the indents are then slide the card in between the hinges of the camera I recommend placing it at a 45 degree angle but you can experiment with the angle when you're taking photos that's all there is to it you should start noticing the difference in your photos right away best of all is that this takes up a lot less space than this for more tips like this go to how to see Netcom for CNET i'm Xiomara blanco
