Bounce Cards are used to diffuse or spread out the light in such a way that instead of coming from one concentrated source it spreads out through bounce, thus getting rid of harsh light and shadows. Pictures are much better when the light source is directional and larger. All that is needed for this is a ceiling or the walls around. It is a type of reflector having matt white surface on one side & other side with a textured aluminium foil pasted fabric. You aim the flash towards the ceiling preferably with the head tilted at 45 degree which acts as a bounce surface & the card reflects some portion of light which refracts towards the subject. As a matter of fact you create two light source with the help of one bounce card. This versatile lighting tool provide photographers with remarkable power to modify the light from their flashes to yield a more pleasing effect. It is an indispensable flash accessory for event coverage and in particular for portraits. The main advantages of a Flash Bounce Card are: - Reduction of harsh shadows - Avoiding red eye - Reduced glare - Less over exposure - Wider angel than normal flash
