other coloured walls will cause colour cast though. grey will still bounce normal light colour.

Thank you for the effort, the translucent umbrella really does give the soft look of a giant north window with diffusion. I almost bought a three pack of those 7’ westcots from B&H a couple months ago on sale, I see know that I probably shouldn’t have talked myself out of it...
@SandraCoan2 жыл бұрын
Exactly! It's that north light look, and it's SO pretty! Also, those modifiers are such a good deal! I bout the 3 pack as well when I was writing my book!

Thank you Sandra that was really interesting to see, I have these modifiers but never thought to try the shoot-through as you have and will definitely give that a go next shoot!

Great vid. I'd have loved to see what the light would have looked like with the bare translucent umbrella (no diffuser).

Why do you use a diffuser on the white translucent umbrella?
@vipersrt30 Жыл бұрын
i believe this would reduce hotspots from reflected light
@alexanderv8056 ай бұрын
It seems to me that the real issue with a traslusent umbrella is apprent in a situation on a set where you have neither white nor grey walls, but coloured ones - you'll inevitably get a colour cast. What's more, add to it furniture, esp. dark or glossy and reflective, and the colour cast will be unpredictable and ugly. Am I wrong?
@Rosie-es8bz5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the video! I just bought the umbrella. I have a question for you. My light stand is black... do you think I'd do better with a silver one (Would it be less visible in the catchlight because it is reflective?)

Thanks, VERY useful demo. I have never considered translucent umbrellas for reasons unknown but now I see they are perfect for getting that airy natural window light not just on the model but also the surrounding area. Something I have used large white umbrellas and several diffusion panels to get. This seems easier. Quick question - I noticed that you are using bare bulb? Is that in order to get as much spread as possible? Not sure if those are Westcott strobes and the flashtube is retracted? I have Elinchromes and the tube is fully exposed when no reflector is mounted. Would that be OK you think?

Is that the FJ200 strobe you're using? I purchased the 7ft Translucent Umbrella and the FJ200 Strobe for my indoor studio photoshoots. I have the diffuser as well! I am just wondering if I should have gone for the FJ400 Strobe to pair with the 7ft umbrella for brighter more natural photos. Thank you for your videos and knowledge!!

The bouncing around light looks weak, flat and boring. No contrasts , no details, just bright. For a good portrait the umbrella should be placed way higher. Sorry for my judgement but thanks for your effort!
