Thanks for commenting Brian. I have a hard time controlling just one flash. So when you say you sometimes use two, you're way ahead of me. :-)
So far this softbox thingy looks good. I had one before too, but much smaller. The former one was about double the area of the flash itself. That didn't make much of a difference at all. The current one is 4-5 the area of the flash (at least). Jostein 2009/6/23 Brian Walters <supera1...@fastmail.fm> > Very nice.
