Comparison of light diffusers??

[jloehle]

Has anyone done a test with the same subject and same settings but using different light diffusers?

One with bounce umbrella, shoot through umbrella, different size softboxes, beauty dish, bounced light, etc. I'm trying to figure out what next to get.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe - yes, there have been a lot of comparisons done here ..... you just have to search through the posts. There have been dozens, if not hundreds of posts over the past couple of years but a lot of good people demonstrating specific examples and applications.

A lot of this depends upon exactly what it is you are trying to do. Will this be mainly studio work, fashion, product, wedding? I do primarly wedding work and prefer the Lumiquest system. They have a variety of excellent, inexpensive, light weight and compact products that perform as advertised. Give us some more specifics and people will chime in ;). - Stu

I've done plenty of searching on this forum for that kind of thing. Always seems that people who have photos showing the differences no longer have them up to see. Was hoping for a link somewhere showing it that was a bit more permanent.
