Re: umbrella vs. softbox
Woo hoo I did it! Thanks for all the help.
NikonFreak,
You may think it is obvious, but I can't tell you how many times I have had photogs wonder why when they changed to bigger boxes and had to pull them back to have room to work, the light wasn't any softer than when they used the smaller boxes.
I use umbrellas all the time. Quick and easy to set up and I know how they respond. I also, use hard and soft boxes, strip lights, light panels and bounce flash and grids. It just depends what effect I am after.
Since I retouch all large prints(11x14 and up) I am going to work on the catch lights as part of the eye work. On smaller prints, you can't really even see it, so it doesn't matter to me what shape they are.
