Can anyone post some pics from a shoot that used only a diffuser umbrella?
Thank You

When you say "diffuser" do you mean the translucent shoot-through umbrellas? There are also umbrellas with a removable cover that you use by turning the light away from the subject and reflecting it off of the umbrella toward the model for wider diffusion of the light for softer shadows. There are also "brolly" box umbrellas that complete cover the flash and the underside of the umbrella and work more like soft boxes than umbrellas.

Interesting. The poster asked a question, another member tried to clarify so that he or others could help, but there's no sign of the OP. I suppose if it's important enough he'll chime in.

At least there are many posts where the OP is available and watching his posts but no comments or say maximum 1 or 2 comments that may not be fully enough answered.

To OP if you really still chillin' around i can show you my simple shot using just one umbrella, not so great but i loved it as it is my daughter shot and i was looking for some help for pp from others.
Good luck to see what you asked for.

I'm still wondering what a "diffuser umbrella" is. The only type that come to mind is something like the Photek Softlighter, or octaboxes. :p

Hmm.. I was kinda excited to see what kind of examples people would post on this one. Ah well. Hopefully the OP comes back and clarifies.

I hope so. Depending on what he wants to see I have images to post but I'm unclear as to whether his term 'diffuser umbrella' refers to a shoot through umbrella or as Mike suggested, a device like a Softlighter.

Just some boring shot at an office...
Shoot through umbrella from the right, with the light shining around it a bit as well, window filling in behind me:

This is a nice shot, i suggest people post any shot using one umbrella whether it is shoot through or white-or-silver reflector umbrella and let the OP choose what he like, maybe he meant both of those umbrellas.

I don't see the point is just posting anything considering the fact that we have no idea of what the OP wants to see and he hasn't even been part of this discussion since his original post. So rather than speculate and post, why don't we wait to see what exactly was being asked.
