This is all getting very technical, black velvet reversed brollies. So I thought you may find this of interest, a nice little softbox curtesy of Maplins £13

I notice with interest that Don is now dabbling with manual flash. Manual is the only way I work with flash, maybe I should become more technical and switch to ETTL.
Now the dark nights are here I've dragged most of my flash gear out, but not the soft boxes or diffusers, Still using the kitchen towelling though.
All my recent experiments have entailed back lighting using several guns, it becomes very interesting, balancing 5-6 flash heads, but it's all good fun as per example.
