With Christmas only 3 weeks away(!) I decided to splash out and buy myself an early present. It's a new and long overdue addition to my kit: a brand new softbox. Basically (for those who don't know) a softbox goes in front of a flash/Speedlite or strobe to diffuse the light coming out and onto your subject so that you get softer shadows, especially helpful when taking portraits. Anyhoos, this one is a 120cm octagonal softbox with two diffusers and a honeycomb/egg crate grid. Can't wait to put it to the test - I just need to find a willing guinea pig/volunteer...
