Bounce card

espn · 24th April 2003

Noobie here, wondering how to make a good bounce card, one that can take wide angle in shots.

I was thinking of the following:

1) Drawing block (1 piece not the whole block)
2) Laminating sheet (1 roll free courtesy of my company)
3) Scissors
4) Rubber band

Take scissors, cut a fan shape with an end to be rubber-banded to the flash.

Laminate the bouncing surface, apply one of the end to the flash and rubber band it.

Carry around looking weird.

Is that about it? Anything to note or better materials to use?
