[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 693158, member: 13090"] Without having watched the course I can see how a modifier that large could be used effectively with a small light source such as a speed-light but the main drawback, as I see it, would be that I would still be working with a single light source, firing from a single direction. Great diffusion, no doubt, from a mod that size but I think it might be more convenient to use two or three more reasonably sized modifiers. Doing so would allow much, much more flexibility in how I can set up my overall lighting since I would be able to control the intensity and direction of light, both vertically and horizontally, from multiple locations. Not too mention I can't even imagine how unwieldy a 7' umbrella would be on an outdoor location. I'd want some fifty-pound sand bags to keep that sucker from toppling over because that bad boy is going suck up wind like... Well... Like a 7' sail. [/QUOTE]
