A little photography experiment

As I was strolling through Pinterest yesterday (yup, totally and blissfully addicted), I came across this picture:






So today I was snapping away indoors on this cloudy, snow-expectant day, and thought I would give it a try.  Wanna see the difference a little strategically placed business card makes?

These are straight out of the camera shots taken on full auto mode with flash.

The first shot: dark and shadowy, esp the background:

The second shot, with flash bouncer installed: light, bright and airy

Is that amazing or what?!
Just thought I'd share.

  2. I did this once when I had to take a quick head shot of myself and didn't have my strobe set up. You can't even tell that it was taken with an on camera flash.
