| Post subject: | Simulating Window Light With Umbrellas??? |
Hi there, I would like to be able to simulate a large window light in my (windowless) studio. Is it possible to do this well with the PLM umbrellas and a sheet of some kind? Most people suggest using a softbox for this, but I don't want to get a soft box right now until I upgrade my lights (from my old WL10K series). Would I need a shoot through umbrella or a bounce? thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

A shoot through would scatter more than a bounce, possibly in areas you do not want light to scatter, so I would do a bounce. You can get diffusion fabrics for the PLMs and not have to worry about hanging a separate sheet. This would mimic the look of an ungridded softbox fairly closely. http://www.paulcbuff.com/wfdf.php |
