I've just bought the Westcott Lighting stand, bracket and umbrella (one which has removable black cover.)

I'm going to use it with my Nikon SB600 flashgun. I know this sounds like a dumb question but how far away should I set the umbrella from my flashgun?

Is there an easy way to fold the umbrella back up? I spend about half an hour trying to get it to fold properly so that I could get it back in the little sleeve it came with.

Now I've got the equipment I've just got to persuade hubby to be my model. I think that's going to be the really difficult bit.:bang:

A new grandaughter is about to arrive in 4 weeks time so any advice on photographing mother and baby with my new set up would be very welcome please.

Well I can seem to make a mess of it.:bonk: I put all the little bits on that hold the black cover on, and then when I fold it up they all fall back off. In the end I just gave up putting it back tidy and just screwed it up and stuffed it in its little bag. I was wondering if it's better to take the black cover off and then just put it on separately when I need it. :thinking:I just don't want to wreck my investment.
 
Blimey I have enough trouble stopping my small umbrellas falling over outside
