It's a disk of white diffusion with elastic sewn into the entire circumference. You slip it over the open brolly and that becomes a brolly softbox. There's a hole at the center for the umbrella's center pole and your light to poke through. Search down for White Front Diffusion Fabric here: http://www.paulcbuff.com/plm.php There are small ones for beauty dishes too. > That's a good point about > some fill from below.

Get the model to hold a reflector or white foamcore on his/her lap and tilt the far edge up to about 15 degrees off horizontal. This becomes, basically, clamshell lighting. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
