I have a company event (indoor) coming up.
The environment is not big, quite dark, no need to shoot far and ceiling is low.
Currently I have D90, 18-200, with SB600.
So far i have been using bounced flash off the ceiling and sometimes use a bounce card (improvised using namecard).
So my questions are:
1. Is bounced flash off the ceiling good enough? or should i get a light sphere for better effect?
2. How many types of attachment are there for flash unit? any one-stop web links? In fact i would like more about flash photography from scratch. I have only been using auto mode for the flash unit.
3. If i want to use light sphere or diffuser, I should use a more powerful flash unit such as SB800/900 right? I was advised by an acquaintance that my SB600 might not be stong enough. What if I need to shoot a high ceiling hall or a far-away stage?
4. What is a colour gel for flash unit for? got great difference? I dun see many ppl using it though.
1 thing to note is... i hate the blue tone that was shown on people's face...even though i use bounce card.
