Very nice setup. The only drawback, I guess, is that a big portion of the already low flash output power is loss during the double bouncing, so it may have problem illuminating an entire room at low ISO settings.

Great work, nonetheless!

yap the weak flash cannot light up the room after bouncing, this is my macro set up

forgot to add all pictures were taken at full wide.

I see

maybe u should do the following test:

1. switch ur camera to M mode
2. focus on something nearby like the battery
3. set ur camera settings to
a. f5.6 , 1/160 , ISO 50
b. f8 , 1/160 , ISO 50
c. f5.6 , 1/160 , ISO 100
d. f8 , 1/160 , ISO 100
4. resize the shots and post here

i can;t use M mode to shoot becoz the flash is manual and offer onli 3 intensity to choose from, i used Av mode to shoot the test shots +/- 0 ev.
