The Broncolor Softbox System - New Softboxes and Octaboxes

New Softboxes and Octaboxes from Broncolor 

 Photo (c) Broncolor

Square, rectangular, as a strip or octagonal. The new Softboxes and Octaboxes from broncolor are optimised light shapers for precise lighting design in nine different shapes and sizes. 

These quality, high-performance light shapers extend your flash system and offer countless additional lighting effects. Three different diffusers enable a soft light with slight central emphasis through to perfectly homogeneous distribution over the entire area. Two diffusers are already included in the delivery, a third diffuser is available as an option. With a light grid, light control can be even more precise. With appropriate speedrings, Softboxes can also be used with flash units from other manufacturers as Profoto, Hensel, Elinchrom, Bowens, Multiblitz-Profilux/Varilux and for other camera
flash units.

With the colour coding on the rear face of the speedrings, it is child’s play to quickly assemble any Softbox. broncolor offers for numerous different flash manufacturers speedrings so that any Softbox becomes independent of a particular system.

Two diffusers are included in the delivery of every Softbox. The third diffuser can be ordered separately. It has a distinct black border, which enables clean work with strongly reflective objects. The broncolor Softbox is then perfectly and uniformly illuminated over its entire surface. With an additional light grid for every Softbox, the radiation angle can be reduced, and so unwanted scattered light avoided.

Introduction to Photographic Light

Steven Biver, Fil Hunter, Paul Fuqua, Light: Science and Magic. An Introduction to Photographic Lighting, Focal Press, 3rd edition, 2007, 320 p.
An amazing (and some would say magical) resource on photographic lighting that has been talked about in the community and recommended for years. This highly respected guide has been thoroughly updated and revised for content and design - it is now produced in full color! It introduces a logical theory of photographic lighting so if you are starting out in photography you will learn how to predict results before setting up lights. This is not primarily a how-to book with only set examples for you to copy. Rather, Light: Science and Magic provides you with a comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light to allow you to use lighting to express your own creativity.
