used in the right way the whale tail is great.


I use one [reporter version - the smaller one]for indoor potrait work and the way it softens the light is terrific, the studio one is too large for portable work imo. Even though it is large you can just use the velcro fixing strap to hook around a loop or something similar on your bag. They do make you stand out & scream "expensive camera gear" though I even got a comment from Santa in lapland about it! The sto-fen is a lot more understated


Generally I use it in full "soft" mode with the wide flap facing forward.


Keep up the good work Garry
