Solutions for Flash I am having some issues with not having a dedicated flash and trying to work with the one my Canon XTi has. I have tried adding on different materials to soften the flash, but I would like to reflect it in different directions. HELP! Does anyone have any solutions?

The most you can do is diffuse the flash though paper or translucent plastic, DIY or this ready made product: LumiQuest Soft Screen. It it not worth trying to bounce flash with the built-in. it doesn't provide enough power.

What is DIY? I am concerned because I am doing a home birth, and if it happens at night, I am not going to have much light. I don't want to disrupt the natural flow of things either.

DIY = do it yourself. Your solution is to buy a flash with a swivel head, or use a high ISO and the room lights.

I've used ISO 800 on the XTi with very good results. There is barely any noise compared to using high ISOs with the original Rebel or any point & shoot camera. Chris Vedros
