Question: PHOTOGRAPHERS: What's the difference between a softbox and an umbrella light?
dont they both do the same thing- which is to add light to your subject that is soft and balanced... is one better thanthe other for outdoor/nighttime shots???
Answer: Soft box has more control then the umbrella. So, if you want soft light in just one area it is better to use the box.
The Soft box takes longer to set up however and is harder to move around from place to place.The umbrella (with out a front cover making it a round soft box) has more spread to the sides. (Yes some do have less and some have more) I used the umbrellas for when I wanted large diffused light that spread out side to side. When a "shoot thu" umbrella is used it really spreads out.
So to answer second part of the question I always just used umbrellas on location where I was setting up and moving around. UNLESS I was lucky and had budgeted in two helpers then the soft box was in the car just in case I wanted less over flow from the lighting.

Question: What softbox would you recommend? (Quick question + links)?I buy my first, and I just need one of them usually work for Portraits indoor and outdoor occasional ones. I'm torn between these two: http://www.amazon.com/LARGE-PHOTO-LIGHT-SOFTBOX-SPEED/dp/B001AV65QQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1289600709&sr=8-2 http://www .amazon.com/DMKFoto-Studio-Softbox-Universal-Speedring/dp/B001AZO366/ref = sr_1_5? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1289600404 & sr = 8-5 In addition to stand I need something to make it work? Such as batteries, cables, etc. Thanks!
Answer: The larger the softbox, the more diffuse the light produced ... Both would be in relation to the general portrait photography in order. These must be placed in a studio light ... or you can flash adapter. generally you lose a stop or two with a softbox, depending on the type and size.

Nikon Canon Hasselblad
April 11th, 2011
Searching for Nikon Canon Hasselblad? You"re really close! This page was in fact made especially to make your task easier! It delivers many seperate sources to get your hands on, or just learn about them, so be sure to scroll down the page to the bottom.
First, let"s start by searching Ebay for Nikon Canon Hasselblad:
Question: Can you really make good photos without a good camera?
I hear them all the time. "It's the person behind the viewfinder that takes the photo, not the camera" is somewhat true, but only half true. Sure enough if you're a very unskilled photographer there's no use even with a hasselblad dSLR camera, but the photos taken by an excellent photographer with a pinhole camera would prove to have little use. If that's true then why are we seeing professional photographers walking around with good lenses and cameras, whereas philosophy claims that all you need is a disposable camera?Again that will mean there's no such thing as a good camera, but why are big corporations such as Nikon and Canon employing top engineers to make lenses and cameras?
Answer: "Again that will mean there's no such thing as a good camera, but why are big corporations such as Nikon and Canon employing top engineers to make lenses and cameras?"
Better equipment makes it easier to get a good picture. You could shoot a wedding with a box full of Disposable Cameras, but you need to bring other skills into play. You'd need to have sufficient lighting, need to have the ability to move around where you need to to get the shot. Better equipment allows for use of higher ISO, so less light or no additional lighting is required, fast zooms and VR/IS allow for photographers to be able to abide by the rules and regulations of the ceremony or event because they either do not have to move as much or not at all.
Think of it this way.
If I put a pinhole camera in the hands of Ansel Adams, and then give you the exact same camera, who do you think is going to come back with a better picture?
OR
If I give Ansel unlimited money and a month to get the best shot he can take, and give you the same, who is going to come back with the better image?Being a professional is also more than just the basics of photography. It is knowing the right gear and how to use it, the right accessories, the correct lighting and setups, the best poses, the best business skills.
In an issue of RangeFinder magazine, a nationally recognized glamour and fashion photographer took a whole shoot of images for a product with a Polaroid instamatic. The client LOVED it. Why? They had asked for a specific look, and the photographer knew that with all the $40,000 digital medium format cameras, $10,000 high end DSLRs that to get the look they wanted and he needed, the $100 polaroid was the way to go.
You buy equipment that best suits your needs and shooting style and that will allow you to get the job done in the most efficient manner with the best results. No one attribute is in a vacuum. They all play off each other.

Question: Are the Japanese brands (Canon, Nikon, Pentax, etc.) any good?Are they as good as my Hasselblad 503CW with Danish Swedish Phaseone p45 ago and Zeiss glass made in Germany? And also my Leica MP and 35mm Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens? The Summilux-M 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH are considered the best 50 mm lens on the road. Nikon is a better than a loin?
Answer: It is not designed to be as good as a Hasselblad. Canon Nikon and so on are in the business of consumer cameras are not the very high professional level. Despite making many professional cameras use, Hasselblad, as I think you already know, is a camera designed for professional high prices it can charge for their great work.
