| I've noticed this technique has been used quite a bit. Does it work well and does anyone here have experience with using a stocking over their flash or is it better to invest the $50 (Aus) on a Stofen omni bounce or similar? |

If you think of how powerful a flash is, I guess a stocking may be too thin? Sto-fen omni-bounces are surprisingly thick (1mm plastic) and opaque (60-70% maybe?), I found.

I used a stocking over both the flash and the lens for photo of my mother's dog. In photoshop, some tone curving was necessary.

All I can say...Crystal Light plastic container! It is a whitish clear plastic. I have 2 (one with the top cut out to experiment with) and they work pretty damn good. And shooting in RAW helps with the balance if needed. But the cans of course diffuse the light MUCH better.
