8.365 - Four Letter Word

For those of you who haven't met yet - this is Bonn - My love.

 

Tried tonight to use a shoot through umbrella to get a silhouette, failed miserably and finally hung a tablecloth over a doorway with a flash behind it. I think the lesson is that the cloth is flat, but an umbrella is curved, so it blasts light EVERYWHERE (didn't even work in the garden since I thought the light was bouncing off the walls inside). If anyone knows the science I am interested.

 

From a learning strobism perspective, I know that the reason for so much light wrapping round is that we were so close to the cloth, but the logistics of a 50mm prime, and a limited size doorway didn't give much room.
