This is never going to happen.
Sorry Bobby, I tried.

See. The example shots are showing light harder than what I was showing using much smaller modifiers in my other thread.

That's correct Bobby, and most of the samples are showing hard light and not what you want to see.

Wish I could see Robs example at work but the host is blocked. The band shot looks "softer" to me but its processed hard and contrasty.

Would it help if the "soft" specification is in the title of the thread? To be honest, I missed the "soft" when I read the first post.

I agree most of the examples are hard shots. Im interested in seeing soft shots. Seems like soft is more difficult to decipher.

Is it soft? To me looks more like hard.

The main light source was a 60" umbrella. I think the post makes the light look a little harder than it should be. Here is the unprocessed...

It's too late for Bobby to change the title. You only have a certain amount of time after posting to edit the subject.

A mod (Leo... Pacace) can do it if you contact him and ask nicely. :)

Hi Rob;

I just went to a thread I started on 2/17/2011 and I was able to edit the title.

you can edit your entry title, but not the thread subject title.
