I got this to celebrate my 1st year of photogrpahy

onform · 4 Dec 2009

These images are of my 10 min old California sunbounce zebra mini, I brought this to celebrate my 1st year of photography... The best bit is this isn't the best delivery I'm waiting for today....

All of this light reflected back is from the light bulb!!

And a close up of the zebra, (silver/gold), pattern. It is reversible and has a shimmery white on the opposite side..

I can't wait now for my main present to turn up....

Very nice. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

They are not cheap as far as reflectors come but they are the best IMHO..

All in it cost £250 with the more expensive zebra patterned material and an arm/bracket to mount my flash to the front..

If that is the mini how big is the regular one ..

What type of photography are you using it for ??
Studio / location ??

They do a micro which is 2/3 ft.
The mini seen here is 3/4 ft
Then there is the pro which is 4/6 ft
And don't forget the big at 6/8 ft

This will be mainly used for location shots like these I took using someone else's mini..

here i used the gold side to simulate a warm summers evening when in fact it was high noon in complete shade..

Here i used the white side to balance the flash with mid day sun...

but it can and probably will be used anywhere a normal reflector is used...

Yours arrived faster than mine then! Bert says it is shipping soon. Could you post some pics (or give the dimensions) of the arm for a flash since there isn't an awful lot of sun to bounce at th moment, and I don't want to shell out so much cash for the proper arm. Thought I'd have a go at some DIY.

Now I'm off to look up your latest postings

Oh dear....that's just not cricket. :bat:

The arm itself is very basic but does what it says on the tin..
