You can read about it on my Blog:
No that much of a big deal - but pretty cool for me since I'm pretty new at starting up my photography business. The way I look at it - any exposure like this can only be good exposure!

Which version did you use, the basic style (which size?), or the newer one with diffusers attached?
I most often shoot outdoors, but have just starting experimenting with indoor bounce flash. I have had good results by using manual settings on the flash, but find that I need to brighten up the subjects faces more. Would you still recommend this product, now that you probably have used it on other ocasions?
Does it work well with closeups?

Newer version
I am using the newer version with the diffuser. 4" x 4 1/2" is the size (middle size).

I am still learning bounce flash as well and the JD product does a great job eliminating unwanted shadows. You can take a look at the wedding gallery photos and see for yourself that it does do a good job with closeups.
I shooy mainly sports and have a lot to learn about shooting people, especially portrait type work. I have been reading the Strobist site trying to shorten my learning curve a bit.
