Reflecting, etc.

Ineedaflash

Hey everyone,

Could anybody tell me how, or point me in the direction of an easy to read, decent tutorial about different effects achieved by using different reflectors (black, white, etc.)?

Going to be shooting in natural light, but just in case it's not looking how I'm hoping there may need to be some manipulation required. I have a flashgun but don't want any effects too severe.

This is all probably sounds terribly novice, so I'm sorry for that.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe it's worth to take into consideration portable softbox (e.g. EzyBox)+ radio triggers (e.g. Pixel knights, Pocket Wizzards)?
If not then it's really important at what time of the day you'll be shooting as reflected light vary from time of the day.
Anyways you have many options: white reflector, silver, gold and several manufacturers Lastolite, California Sunbounce or something cheaper.

Take a look here.
