Refering to the video tutorial of Peter Gregg of http://www.abetterbouncecard.com/ ,

the tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNCmuExl ... ecard.com/

u can also skip reading the rest of below by clicking this : http://davidzmetal.blogspot.com

Well 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

Image

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

Image

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.

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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

Image

A closer look

Image

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

Image

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

Image
Image

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

Image

See , an outraged patriotic guy

Image

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.

actually i dont recommend this coz its too tight on my f56.

i'd recommend a velcro belt or a looser (not too loose) rubber band
