Did you try when you are sitting down on the couch and you see when you sitting as behind your back while you are using your flash unit will able to bounce like a wall?

Update: See the pictures to explain clear what it is the question:

These inane and nonsensical questions are getting a bit tiresome.

Possibly something like:
Have you ever thought to or taken a picture while sitting on the couch, and bouncing your flash off the wall behind the couch instead of using it directly to light your subject? I might be misinterpreting it,...but thats what I got.

I tried taking out every 5th word as in a code, but still can't break the enigma...
Oh well...
I presume it means hiding a flash unit behind a sofa, directing the light upwards in the ceiling to bounce flash, and the whole setup used as a backgound for the main subject.
Yep, that's a nice way of experimenting with lighting...

Update: I did add the picture on the first post as you can go look and will understand clear.

Question: Why don't you take all these "brilliant" ideas and put them to use so you can show us your results, eh? A photo is worth 1000 words anyway.....we can't understand you.

These drawings really made me laugh!

I really don't think bouncing a flash off the back of a couch is going to work well at all, unless you've got a white couch. Darker materials are going to absorb too much of the light.

The great thing about digital photography is, there's essentially zero cost to take a shot and try something. Take these ideas you have, try them out, and see what happens. I think I burned through 100 or so exposures on my new SLR just getting used to the menus, settings, how the camera focused, etc.
