Taking a picture of something and the flash keeps blowing it out, but if you remove the flash, it is too dark? If so, leave the flash on and diffuse it with a makeshift method that will rescue your photos!
Find something that you can wrap around your flash. Repurpose whatever you have available––you could use a scrunchie, rubber band, piece of Velcro, or duct tape. Check for fit.
Use something thin and white. For example, a plastic grocery bag (a white one) will do the job well. Other possibilities include: White sandwich wrap or wax paper––just be sure to rub off the sandwich crumbs first! Thin piece of white paper you might have in your bag Thin white handkerchief or perhaps a tissue
Attach the emergency diffuser object to your flash. This quick fix will work for both an onboard flash and an off-camera flash.
Try again. Retake the photograph and see the amazing difference adding a diffuser makes.
