The Flash Bounce Canon 430EX and 430EX II is a unique product that attaches to a speedlite within seconds. Due to its unique construction, the Flash Bounce Canon 430EX and 430EX II can be used at focal lengths from 15mm. Raising the head of the flash unit approximately 30 degrees spreads the flash light around the subject on all sides, preventing harsh drop shadows. It also softens the direct flash light nicely, preserving details in light areas and rendering skin tones realistically, something that is challenging when flashing without a flash bounce. The Flash Bounce Canon 430EX and 430EX II is also ideal for taking macro shots. As easy as the flash bounce is to apply, it is also easy to remove.
