Product Information

Umbrellas also come in a variety of different sizes. Like any diffuser, larger means softer light. Both factors (size and type) will affect how the umbrella works.

When the world is watching, our pioneering range of broadcast-quality products offers cutting-edge performance. Photography umbrellas have different purposes based on color, shape, and dimension. As there is hardly one umbrella to fit all photo setups, learn the differences between umbrella types and choose the one that improves your workflow. Color Public sector organisations the world over trust Canon for their monitoring, surveillance and production needs.For particular purposes, such as shooting in low-ceiling rooms, you may look for special shape umbrellas, such as rectangular umbrellas. You may also take a look at hybrid umbrella softboxes, which can act both as a regular umbrella and a regular softbox just by setting up some accessories. Best Umbrellas for Photography Hydrophobia 70-200 V3– For cameras with medium-telephoto zoom lenses such as 70-200mm, 100-400mm, 100-500mm The shape is also important and refers mostly to the umbrella’s depth. Deep umbrellas (aka parabolic umbrellas) provide more control over the direction of light, less spread, and more contrast. They have a round profile and usually are large-size umbrellas. Shallow umbrellas cover a wide area and produce a soft and even spread light. Building a winning photography portfolio Building a winning photography portfolio Building a winning photography portfolio A white umbrella (also known as a “shoot-through”) has translucent white fabric. This fabric diffuses and spreads light over a larger surface. This reduces the intensity of the light, and you may need to turn up the power on your flash or strobe to offset this.

If you’re unsure whether to choose a reflective umbrella or a shoot-through umbrella, a convertible umbrella is an excellent option. It also won’t cost much more, either. Do you notice how the highlight and shadow definition are drastically different? What about the even nature of the light? With our hard, direct light, the transition from highlight to midtones to shadows can be seen and identified very clearly, right? It’s a fairly abrupt transition. Since we have diffused the light with an umbrella, you should notice now that the light is not hard or harsh, and is more even across the right of the image. Also, the transition from highlights to midtones to shadows is gradual and not as abrupt. This is what people commonly describe as soft light. Now that we know the flash is going to be off camera, let’s talk about the idea of using an umbrella.

When you handle the cover, there’s very clearly a difference in quality between the Altura rain cover and the more expensive options. Still, with care, it will be acceptable for occasional emergency use. It’s undoubtedly a significant step up from the clear plastic covers. The downside is that this cover doesn’t have an eyepiece, so you must peer through the plastic to see your LCD screen or viewfinder.

For example, flash is essential for macro photography lighting. But firing a flash from a short distance creates uneven illumination, harsh shadows, and awkward reflections. If you use an on-camera flash unit, you can mount a diffuser on top of it. But if you use an external flash unit or a continuous light, you can use an umbrella. You may also want to consider placing the umbrella as a sun shield to protect your tiny subject from the bright midday sun. A dark reflective umbrella can replace a secondary light source and illuminate the subject from a different direction. For example, you may want the primary light in front of the subject and the umbrella on an angle, reflecting light coming from the primary light and providing a fill light. With two umbrellas, you can create a 3-point lighting design using only one light source.

We are going to use radio remotes to ask the flash to fire at the proper time, but that is for another post. To use a large umbrella outdoors on a windy day, you’ll need to sandbag your light stand. This will keep the umbrella from tipping over. If you don’t have a sandbag, you can try weighing down the light stand by hooking on your camera bag.
