Re: Vivitar 283 Flash Questions

I point the flash at the ceiling and bounce it.  Or if the ceiling is 50
feet in the air I attach a piece of white paper to the flash and bend it at
45 degrees.  Wivitar used to make a BD-1 bounce diffuser that attached to
the flash and did the same thing, I never spent the $20.
