Does Anyone Use These Umbrellas? White Translucent Shoot-Through Umbrellas ... I have just bought 2 with a digital lighting kit and wanted to know the best way to use them. Thank you in advance!

Hi Aileen, I use umbrellas like this in small spaces to take architectural shots. You can also use these umbrellas as a bounce umbrella, but without a black cover, you get a lot of light bouncing around your set and this can be a problem. My favorite umbrellas are 45 to 60 inch white satin umbrellas with a black cover to prevent spill. Thanks.

Thank you for you help. I plan to use them to practice. I was planning on using them in the sitting room with the round bit of the umberella facing the subject with the lightings shinin through facing them( hope that makes sense?) could you tell me if this is correct. Aileen

I first started using umbrellas more that thirty years ago. Back then, everyone set them up as bounce, rather than shoot-through. Except in small spaces, I still do. With a shoot-through umbrella, you get a lot of light coming out both sides. This can cause reflection problems. This is why I prefer umbrellas with black backing: less light spread.

I tryed to copy pages out of my CD but I could not. I can't seem to find those "shoot thru" Pics. but heres the next best thing, one will show bounce. one shows a shoot thru, this is a intresting umbrella and inexpencive as well. It goes on like a shoot thru umbrella, but works as a soft box. will find you a link.
