Softening the light

2 photographs
1 with a naked bulb, one diffused - note the difference

f8, 30, separate ISOs, household lamp

I know I'm meant to like the one where I used the diffuser best.  But I don't - The one with the diffuser at 1000 ISO is probably most effectively lit but I prefer the more contrasty one shot at 500 ISO with no diffuser.  The shadows are softer and more gentle in the one where I used the diffuser.

Without diffuser 500 ISO


Without diffuser (taken accidentally at higher ISO)

With diffuser
