For those of you who use the Sunbounce reflectors, I'm trying to figure out which colors to get if I do this. I want to have white on one side and on the other I am trying to choose between Zebra and Sparkling Sun http://www.sunbounce.d​e ….php?id=das_mat​erial0&L=1 (external link)

My use will mostly be for shooting on overcast days and also when shooting in th shade, to bring the light from the grey directly overhead and reflect it into the face of the person I am photograping. I'm not looking for a strong effect but to gently take the dull out of the color and to use the reflector side as the key.

Any input?

You might want to go with the zebra then. I've been working with the gold side more recently but we have the golden california sun here to work with, so the color balances out nicely. If you want to mainly work during overcast days for a light fill effect, the zebra will suit you best.

I've done a bit of testing with the way I would use the Sunbounce, using my w/silver 48" Lastolight triflector and my friends Photoflex 5 in 1 MultiDisc (it has it's own version of the gold and silver zebra fabric and after doing versions of all the way's I'm likely to work with the Sunbounce, I've decided to first get the 4'x6' black/white and see how it works out. The size is ideal for a lot of what I do including some location product work so even though it's not as convenient as the smaller ones, it's likely to get used right away where I'm sure it'll be put to work, even with the table top shooting. After that, I'll see if I want one or more and what sizes.
