got my umbrella?


Yes! Got my umbrella and now I feel 90% complete. Yes my borrowed nikon sb-600 is going back, but the concept is still the same. See the picture and examples here on flickr:

definitely the shoot through is going to be the best option for me. the bounce light from the umbrella is too hard. Yes I know...it seems counterintuitive. But the shoot-though of the light is very soft and extra powerful. I had to go to 1/16 power going THRU the umbrella as opposed to 1/4 power to bounce it.
Keep on experimenting. At least my shots are not too powerful because of hard light or gone are the days of too dark even with a flash.
