20090410 - Soft SP

Built myself a soft-box out of cardboard and tissue paper to see if it's worth shelling out for a 'real' one that's fold-up-able and will withstand the great outdoors...

Here's the version I did just after, without the diffuser in place:

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/9.0 at 100.0mm iso100 hide exif

BTW - can we have a picture of the softbox, please?

Cracking shot! Is this redness by way of support for Stoke City who are hanging on to their Premier League life today at home to Newcastle??!! (Come On, Stoke!!)

Nicely done Phillip, the softbox gives a nice lighting effect and square catchlights as if the light was from a window.

Not later than yesterday i was saying to a co-worker
that the colour red becomes everybody, you just reinforced my belief...
Fantastic SP Phillip.

Another very original and different approach to the Friday SP. Well done!

Looks good Phil. You will have to send me the plans. It will have to be good to make a good portrait out of me.

There's no end to your talents...! So the light is coming thru the softbox to your right...? Looks good! :o)
