>>4402615honestly, coz it was fairly big umbrella box (biggest I could get at the time) and just never upgraded it to something bigger/better.
the Paul C Buff PLM or the softlighter II were always 'dream' softboxes, but the shipping from the US always killed any real value they had, so I stuck with the chinese imports (which have improved DRASTICALLY in the last 5 years)
just get the biggest one you can get your hands on, double-diffuse it and you're set for a nice replicated window light.
>Also, why get rid of the stuff if you could store it till you need it next? Is it taking up too much room?Mainly because I don't use it anymore, and I can't see myself using it in the near future, which is unfortunate. I hate hoarding stuff, i'm a bit of a packrat that goes through hoard and purge stages, just reaching my purge stage.
I also travel quite a lot for work and I get put up in nice hotels/apartments, so i'm looking to move to a more portable, airport travel friendly setup
