Softlighter

I was in Boston for the Easter weekend and picked up the Photek 46′ Softlighter II. It’s an umbrella that doubles as a softbox. I had to hack together a Manfrotto clamp, light stand and flash bracket to get my SB-900 to line-up with the unit correctly (when mounting the flash on the bracket it ended up too high and couldn’t be inserted) but it finally worked and I’m pretty happy with it. Here’s a couple of self-portraits – not out of love for myself btw… just out of necessity ;-)
