[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 405238, member: 12257"] Ok all... inspired by the Zach Arias OneLight videos, I'm going to start dabbling in off-camera flash with ONE light/stand/modifier and go from there. I've already got a decent 9' stand picked out, and an expandable hot shoe mountable trigger/receiver set, but wondering about the first umbrella. Again, have it mostly figured out as far as wanting to get a 57" umbrella to start, but should I start with a silver lining (no pun intended) or white? My tendency is to lean toward the white, but it's just gut feeling without research. Also, I'm intrigued by these white umbrellas with "black cover", so you can turn the umbrella around and use it as a pass-through filter as well, but I'm curious as to how well these covers last. Anyone use something like that? Hoping to pull the trigger this weekend, but wondered what those of you with experience would recommend. This lighting set will be mostly indoor, with some outdoor "in the shade" use. No outside direct light to compete with. After I master the one flash set-up, I'll look at investing in another speedlight and stand, etc. to start working with 2 lights and such from there. After that, should business improve and warrant, I'll start digging into strobes. :) [/QUOTE]
