    Amaryllis

    More OCF practice. I bought a couple of cheap 9" softboxes and thought I would try them out. I realise the photo itself could do with some cloning re the stake etc, but I left it as SOOC (other than a little cropping) to show the lighting

        For an exercise in lighting they look good

        probably get you into trouble with the wife but you could always cut the stem off and stick it in some florists foam - that's what I do....well with flowers that have been cut already

          Cheers Stan. Not sure my wife would be that bothered really! I bought it, expecting it to be out for Christmas, and it is just blooming now! I'll keep the foam in mind for future though.

          Thanks again,

              Thanks Alan. These are the softboxes. Basically, you get what you pay for. I am just experimenting just now, so don't want a huge outlay. But, I am quite impressed by these!

              Thanks again,

                  For the price I'd say they're definitely worth a punt. The have a zipper bag, two diffusers each, and just pop into shape.

                  Cheers,
