Subject: Soft boxes, any recommendations
I'm looking to get a couple of softboxes. I have umbrellas and need
something with a more diffused look. Any experiences with particular
brands or styles? Sizes, shapes that are more useful? Anything I should
stay away from or watch out for?
Have you thought about larger umbrellas?
I haven't found soft boxes to be all that good for portraiture, though they
are very good for product/ still life pictures.
I fought with a set of Moonlight softboxes for many years, a 36 inch and a
60 inch.
I find the light from them to be harder than from a 24 inch umbrella, using
the same head as a light source.
