Home made umbrella's
Hopfully in early January, i'll get my V2s trigger and two recievers. I plan on experimenting with my small studio downstairs. I googled home made umbrella's but did not really find anything i had in mind. I was thinking of McIvering a homemade one/two, but i'm afraid they will look just that, cheap and home made, using that white foam material the better bounce card is made of.. I saw a video on Expert Village, and he used two back drop stands, with brass fittings on the top, mounted two umbrella holders and then the flash with receiver's. He then used normal umbrella's. I'm quessing this is probably the better way to go, should i need to take this stuff on the road. It does not sound to expensive to do the latter.

Re: Home made umbrella's
Go to the Dollar Tree and by two $1 umbrellas, go to wal-mart and buy a $2 can of white or silver paint. Mix the two. Merry Christmas Yes, you can make all kinds of light modifiers out of foam-core. To be honest however, hard direct light is not all that bad if you watch your shadows.

After having bought a white shoot through umbrella off eBay, I echo Tom's suggestion. Go to you're local discount store see if you can find a plain, old fashioned white umbrealla (not the compact type) cut the handle off. I'm sure you've seen this site, but there are all sorts of links to home made light modifiers: http://strobist.blogspot.com/ Cheers, Dave -- 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.
