BOUNCE
CARD:
You
are shooting outdoors on a bright day and the sun is
creating horrible hard shadows on your subject. The
easiest way to solve this problem is with a "bounce
card."
Any
piece of white cardboard will do--or you can use specially
designed bouncecards that fold up like those things
people put in their car windows. Either way, the bounce
card is positioned below the subject to bounce light
into the shadow areas. It's amazing how much improvement
a bounce card can add.
To
see the effect of the bounce card, move it back and
forth--to get precisely the effect you want. It's useless
unless you are angling it into the sun just right. This
may take some practice. But it's worth the effort. A
bounce card can improve the quality of your image immensely.
