Product Information

Since we have the flash unit off camera, let’s establish a baseline of what our light could look like. If you choose to use the flash without an umbrella, you’re going to see what is commonly described as hard light. This is especially true if you have the flash at a distance from your subject, and aimed directly at your subject. A photography umbrella is a much-appreciated light-shaping tool. It looks like regular rain or sun umbrella and folds like one too. But instead of repealing the rain or sun, a photography umbrella changes the properties of light coming from a light source. Often, it accompanies an artificial light source (e.g., strobe, speedlight, continuous light, etc.), although you can use a photography umbrella with sunlight, too.

The perk of going with a more expensive brand is more durability and longevity. A studio setup with a large umbrella How to Use a Photography Umbrella 1. Mount the Umbrella to the Strobe or FlashA white reflective umbrella is efficient at maximizing light output creating a softer look. White umbrellas are ideal for photographers who want to maintain their output while creating a light that is less dramatic and neutral. Artificial light sources are versatile and help you create the composition you imagine, regardless of the available lighting conditions. However, artificial light can hardly resemble the warmth and naturalness of sunlight. Animated subjects (e.g., people, animals, and insects) may find it difficult to face an artificial light source.The best way to make the most of a single light source is to use a light modifier. A photography umbrellais the easiest to use and most affordable light modifier. Here is everything you need to know about incorporating photography umbrellas into your workflow. What is a Photography Umbrella? In this series tracing the birth and growth of the Scottish nation, to give the footage a suitably grand and epic feel, Neville sought out a new camera. "And so began my relationship with Canon," he says. "It was a big moment when I bought my first Canon EOS 5D Mark II [now succeeded by the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV]. I used it for both stills and filming, and it provided me with brilliant results. Using full-frame photography in my film work really helped it stand out against everything else. The difference was monumental, and I started using the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in my documentaries from that point on." 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.

In the 2010s Neville began adding drama to his CV, including Taggart, Outlander, and Doctor Who. The last of these in particular was a dream come true. "That's what I'd always wanted to do since I was a kid," he says. Neville filmed six stories for the sci-fi show in total, including some of the most iconic episodes in its long history. Unleash your ambition and make the whole world cinematic. When creativity counts, filmmakers choose Cinema EOS for exceptional image quality and control. 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. ColorSo instead of heading straight for the movies, Neville landed his first job as a cameraman making news and documentaries for BBC Scotland. It proved to be a real baptism of fire. "Working for the BBC, there is no room for mistakes," he says. "You have to get it right or you're fired. That was a fantastic learning curve." 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.

Experiment With Different Angles For More Variety From decades of traveling the world with my camera, I’ve learned – sometimes the hard way – that a camera rain cover is an essential part of any photographer’s kit. Here’s why: The most dramatic skies for landscape photography often occur during those brief moments before and after a storm. Either side of that moment, you’re probably going to get wet. If wildlife photography is more your cup of tea, I also have news for you: many animals don’t care about the rain. They’ll still be out there doing what they’ve got to do.

Now that we know the flash is going to be off camera, let’s talk about the idea of using an umbrella.

The smart move is to carry a simple rain cover and get a shot in the bag. There’s a good chance it’ll have more natural drama and tell more of a story than a shot in dry weather.
