Sorry, forgot to answer you on this.
Yes, if you want to get it right, you may want to use a grid snoot to light up the model's face. The BG is up to your personal taste.
Anyone of you using the lightsphere, which type did u get? The Clear one or the Cloud one?
CP is selling the LS Universal for $91 and I wonder if this is a good price to boot.
Previously they selling the LS Reporter I think, the one which can be folded. But I procastinated and didnt get it.

With a small bounce card, the reflection is minimal.... as such, you may not see the effects as obviously.

oh.. then how big should the bounce card be so i can have a better effect n reflection?

If you wish for a more pronounced effect, you should be looking at about a 5in by 5in block.
Not only does the size of the bounce card matters but, the angle of incidence between the card and the flash does matter too..heres smtg http://www.dembflashproducts.com/flipit/positions/ to help you understand..

That's right.
My DIY acrylic bounce sheet has a 5x5" flash area. Good size.

You can use rubber bands to hold it. Or with acrylic sheets, you can hold it down by means of velcro stickers...

my own DIY bounce card, now its my backup card, using a newer DIY one now
i am considering to get it too....hv u gottten it?
If you have a little bit more money you could invest in this new thing called the Presslite VerteX. I got it for $89 from CP. May be a little bit pricy, but it's pretty versatile and easily removed if you wanna kick it old school by bouncing it off the ceiling.
I've been loving it since I got it.
