thanks, I enjoy reading your useful postings.
I always hope they will be useful.
I would like to have something light and portable to put in front
of my
flashes or to shoot into, I do not own a studio and always will be on
different, non ideal locations. I have a "normal" white pocket
umbrella,
should I try using that to direct the flash into it?
You can do some tests with it and see how well it works. There are
no rights and wrongs, really. Whatever gives you the picture you
want is the right thing for you.
I gave up on umbrellas in the late 70s and have used softboxes ever
since. They give me the look I want. I still have a few umbrellas
hanging around my studio "just in case", but can remember the last
time I unfurled one.
happy Easter
And the same to you! And happy Passover to our Jewish members!
