If you wanted to, you could try using black fabric to create strip lights with that. Cut some half circles and use velcro along the rim of the umbrella.

To add, if someone has more money to spend but really wants to milk their money and stay on a tight budget, for about $500-600, one can get an 85/105/130/165cm in both silver and white, with diffusion covers, plus a two opaque shoot through umbrellas also. Add in variables in distance from the subject and you'd have an incredible array of both control and lighting options for a relatively small price. Throw in a couple of cheap, small hard light reflectors and you'll have a stellar array of kit.

I actually expected that recommendation. The versatility of a deep reflective umbrella is really impressive. That being said for an amateur without a studio I guess the 160cm umbrella might be a bit big. I was kind of surprised by the actual size of my 125cm umbrella. And there's no way you'll be using that on location without an assistant who's preferably a bit on the heavier side or they'll Mary Poppins to the horizon. For some of the umbrellas you can get some diffusor covers making it somewhat of a large "octa box" (who moste of the time don't actually have 8 sides anymore - why does that name still stick?).

@robertaltman2223 жыл бұрын
Great (as always)! My go-to budget modifier is a 7 foot silver umbrella- with a diffuser 'sock' - it gives the option for a very large soft source or a punchier source with the sock off. Curious if you have ever done the Octa versus 7-foot with diffuser 'match-up??

I have a generic deep white umbrella in this size and appreciated the tips about adjusting the spread to get harder or softer light. One thing prospective buyers should know about these umbrellas is that (at least on the brand I bought) the ribs are fiberglass and it is possible to break them, especially if you have to carry your lighting gear around in a car boot (ask me how I know this) so handle them with care if you travel to locations with them...

@danielzurakowski63583 жыл бұрын
@@VisualEducationStudio Wouldn't silver reflective umbrella with a diffuser provide something more similar to 150 softbox in respect of the light quality? (yeah, I know the diffuser stretches the budget ;P ) I'm aware of the fact, that we are talking here about the modifiers within a specific price tag and reflective umbrellas are hard (or impossible) to beat in respect of versatility/price, but at the same time - what makes the umbrellas versatile (changing the position of a strobe in the umbrella), sometime makes it impossible to place the light as close to the subject/model, as I would with a softbox, as I get the rod in the frame :/ I do have 165 cm deep white reflective umbrella + diffuser (which - for the price - is an awesome modifier) and apart for that rod (in most cases it's not an issue) the only downside is the lack of a grid to limit the light spread (grid is way smaller and lighter than any v-flats or so, when you need to be mobile with the equipment). All in all - you hit the spot - if a budget is the deciding factor - go for the umbrella (as I did once ;) ). If you have the money - go for the octabox.
@VisualEducationStudio3 жыл бұрын
Actually if you had enough light power then the white one with a front diffuser would give a more homogenous result, a silver one would need another layer of internal diffusion to work as well and as homogenous as the Octabox 150. I'm not exactly sure how much the Octa is by comparison but I think it's worth the money for the space saving, ease of mobility, balance on a stand and as you mentioned easier to get closer to the subject.
