Borrowed an umbrella kit from a friend and, after snapping two photos, felt a disturbance in the force. Easiest beautiful lighting I've ever achieved - no wonder people are still using reflector umbrellas after all these years. I've ordered my own umbrella and stand, and I now better understand the different functions of the lightsphere, Nikon dome, and reflector umbrellas. Very nice to have all these options, and I look forward to learning more about them all.
