Thanks, David. I just got back from the shoot. It was all outdoors, and no flash was needed (I hate using flash outdoors unless it's absolutely necessary).

I really appreciate the offer, David. However, I did make it by HL in time to get a sheet and make one card before heading off to the shoot.

Sonny, did you find the wide rubber bands, and where did you locate them?

This works great! I use a piece of xerox paper, and a rubber band that came on some broccoli.

It's called "Funky Foam" or Foam Sheet and it comes in 12" x 18" sheets.
.99 cents per sheet and I just picked up 5 sheets for half price at Hobby Lobby
today.

I love this stuff. I'm really coming to appreciate its best feature: the ability to take it "off" quickly by folding it back. It has opened up a completely new area for me of selectively bouncing (or not) depending on where the action/emphasis/light changes. I shot a Chrismas play the other day and that is where I made full use of it...
