what's the difference between softbox and umbrella?
why can't we use softbox instead of umbrella or use umbrella instead of softbox? is the light produced by softbox softer and more defused? thanks
Threns answer is incomplete
there are a number of umbrellas
shoot through umbrella
and reflective umbrellas
thren only mentions the reflective type. However shoot through umbrellas are very similar to soft boxes
soft boxes seals where the light exits. Umbrellas dont.
Therefore, softboxes seems to control the light better.
In practical application, there is very little diference between shootthrough umbrellas and softboxes. I personally prefer umbrellas because they are easier to set up and take down. on the otherhand, preparing a softbox is like wrestling with thick iron bars. Lots of twisting, bending and moaning before the softbox is erect.
