I'm trying to do an inexpensive flash/umbrella lighting set up. What is the main differences/effects between using silver and white umbrellas? Also, is there any advantage to the "removable black cover" umbrellas? I am shooting a prom dance soon. I also am starting to shoot portraits in a make shift "studio" in my basement, albeit I have been limited to B&W because of the color temp of my flood lamp bulb.
Any umbrella information is helpful!
I've included my "studio" and one portrait of friends.

Umbrella or no umbrella---what a couple. I have used the same models for some of my own projects. Here's another shot of them.

A silver umbrella puts out a slightly harder edged and more specular light. It also transmits more of the light. Conversely a white umbrella is softer and cuts out more light. The removeable cover can come in handy as it allows you to shoot through the umbrella. Shooting through gives you a slightly harder light and more output.
