Generally available in silver or white. (silver being "harder" than white) Gives wonderful dimensional modeling with semi soft shadows. Not as overall soft as umbrellas or soft boxes. Flattering to the "beautiful." A tad hard on the "flawed." ;~) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Jun 12, 2010, at 9:29 PM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > Kyle, > What a wonderful shot!
