Flash Diffuser

I shoot these couple of shoots with same angle, same lens, same setting, everything is the same just the diffuser different.
this give you an idea What you should use for what situation. or which materiel suit you most on what you shoots.

from pictures bellow you can see the WB & Exposure changed while i'm using the same setting & same lens with Flash Fired, there shown 3 material i used here : a pack of dinning tissue (thick 1) from 1 to 10 pieces, A4 paper from 1 to 10 pieces, & the material i used (plastic like board)

here comes the Thick Dinning Tissue bellow.
 1 piece
 2 pieces
 3 pieces
 4 pieces
 5 pieces
 6 pieces
 7 pieces
 8 pieces
 9 pieces
 10 pieces

the following is A4 paper.
 1 piece
 2 pieces
 3 pieces
 4 pieces
 5 pieces
 6 pieces
 7 pieces
 8 pieces
 9 pieces
 10 pieces

& the final plastic like board.
 1 piece
 2 pieces
 3 pieces
 4 pieces
 5 pieces
 6 pieces
 7 pieces
 8 pieces
 9 pieces
 10 pieces

the tissue paper i used
 the ordinary A4 paper
 & the plastic like board.

Conclusion :
on the pictures above you can see the A4 paper is totally different from the others, it makes Cooler WB images & the lighting between 1~10 is huge. & also it's very easy to reflect the colors around to hit the subject so sometimes you might get the purple or pink in your images. it's COOL , Easy to Carry Colors , Great for Product & Still Life Photography or maybe some Landscape too.

to compare the tissue paper with the plastic board :
1. They both took warmer WB, good for most category of photography (in my opinion, i love warm colors)
2. Tissue are more easy to Carry if you don't make it as a DIY Diffuser Box or something, you can just use a rubber band to hold it on your flash when Fire, just if you want to hit with stronger light you have to push your flash power (or EV) higher.
3. If you're making a DIY diffuser you might want to use the plastic board because it's firmed in place, harder, with great result as you use tissue.
4. You might notice the WB changed every single photo i took on the plastic board because i hold the card with bare hands & the card is tiny (i doesn't want to spend that much on this useless review if just 1 or 2 of you are reading ^^" jk jk) so it's not the exact result but something similar lo.
5. 1piece of plastic = 2 to 2.5 pieces of Tissue so it makes work easier because you might want to used 2 to 5 pieces of tissue while you can just use 1 or 2 card & get the same results.
6. Common sense Plastic easy to spoiled or Tissue??
7. Common sense Plastic easy to get or Tissue??
8. With plastic card or Tissue both you can mix it together when you DIYing yours very own Diffuser.

So, it's what you want, the lighting, the WB, Carrying, Long term or Short, That's it. I hope this review helps one or two of you. Tata..
