Flashbulbs are blinding.
A pop though a mini softbox with a Norman or Lumedyne is barley noticeable
because of the ultrashort duration. I think that is what we are looking at here
on these shots.
And psychologically the mini softbox itself makes people think in won't be bright.
But They see a mean looking silver reflector they get ready to blink.
I think a portable strobe on a minisoftbox is too good to be true.
