http://davidzmetal.blogspot.comWell today i was a little bit bored and i decided to head down to the stationary shop and get something to make myself the "a bettery bounce card" (Hereinafter referred to as ABBC) .
Initially i was about to use a plastic file holder to cut out , but i was lucky to be able to find this foamy white paper in the shop. That was wat Peter Gregg used in that video i supposed, so i justbought it. Its one big piece , around the size of a manila card we usually see in the shop , and its only RM1.90.
This foamy white paper is magical , its an innovation of miracle and a blessing from god. Its a piece of paper and when u squeeze it , it becomes like this

but when u release ur hand, *boink* it became one fine, undamaged , usable piece of paper.

Imagine u using an A4 paper, u squeeze then u can throw it into the dustbin already.
So i attached the paper with the rubber band Albnok gave me *thanks albnok* and wrapped it like this according to the tutorial vid.

And u swivel it like this so the card faces the front ( from now on imagine the flash is attached on the camera)

This is the time when u need to shoot in the landscape way. But when u want to shoot it in a potrait way, unless u have the cobra , u can opt this way and turn it like this

Now , from this point, the magical side of the material started to show. When u r shooting and u decided to use a full bounce instead and without the bounce card, u can stretch it back like this

A closer look

If u decided to have a little bit of front fill flash, pull it up a little bit and u get this.

This is how it looks like with little front fill and full extended bounce card


Well if u think this Diy bounce card is not useful, u can do it also and use it as a decoration for ur house and show ur patriotisme.
See , a long hair patriotic guy

See , an outraged patriotic guy

The whole DIY project costs me RM1.90 as a whole , and that piece of big foam can be used to cut out at least 5 more cards.
