Examples

Using the PilleVippo bouncer and a small reflector.
Camera : Canon IXUS 95 IS, no exposure compensation (using +1 to +2 can often produce better result).

Comparison:

1. direct flash, no mirror or reflectors
2. a combination of direct and reflected light, white translucent mirror and one small white reflector (held like shown in pic. 4)
3. all reflected light, silver mirror and one small white reflector (held like shown in pic. 4)

Example of how to control background light :

1. Less control: holding the reflector like shown in pic. A .
2. More control: holding the reflector like shown in pic. B can make the background more or less dark toned.
- the angle of part "C 1" controls how much light is blocked from the background (it should point more downwards than shown in pic. B ).
- the angle of part "C 2" controls the object light (it should be held more horizontally than shown in pic. B.)

Note:
a second small recflector is placed in front of the object in both images.
