Bounce Flash
 
I'm going to a renunion next month - ex Rhodesians/Zimbabweans. It's being held in what I know as a "double volume" restaurant i.e.the ceiling is two stories high. Also, I doubt the ceiling will be white or some pale colour.

My question is; will bounce flash be effective at that height and if not how do I overcome it?

Thanks

Use such as the omnibounce, or if you're a cheapskate like me, make one from a plastic milk container.

as wolfie says, a stofen type defuser will do the trick.....you could pick one up pretty cheap on ebay.

To answer your original question, I think the answer is "no, bouce flash will not be effective at that height". That is, unless you have an unfeasibly powerful flashgun.

Chinese copy stofen diffuser is a lot cheaper than the real thing.
