    I just purchased the sto-fen omnibounnce and it works reasonably well indoors with appropriate bounce objects (ceiling/walls) although still a little harsh.

    I'm going to be shooting at a graudation (think people/portraits outdoors in the evening) where the sto-fen so looking for a nice soft diffuser also... portable and not too expensive.

    Perhaps the lumiquest softbox?

    I have a lot to learn on flash photography and appropriate bounce angles/techniques/diffusers

    For on-camera flash I'd be more inclined to use a bounce card than a sto-fen type diffuser. You get forward bounce and ceiling bounce when using a card. Sto-fens are great if there are walls close by as they scatter light everywhere - but you easily lose a stop or more.

    I generally only shoot with off-camera flash, and I use umbrellas, softboxes and a light tent.
