Ah, I was sure I did. If an admin sees this please feel free to move the thread
Some of the photos I'm taking with flash is really harsh and a diffuser could really help (?). There are a lot on Amazon but I'm spoilt for choice so unsure which to get.

OK you do not say what flash you are useing but if you are useing on camera flash these really are not much good IMO (see first image)
If you can get one then the second option (image below) you will find you should get a much more pleaseing result, again IMO.

Thanks that's very helpful @russellsnr
Wherever possible, bounce the flash off a wall or ceiling. Off-camera is the best option with some kind of softbox or umbrella but that may not be practical. If all else fails then a diffuser for on-camera flash can help - larger the better although they obviously become more cumbersome. Popular choices are Lightspheres, Ezybox Speedlite or Flashbender.
