Yay, the UPS man brought my new parabolic lighting modifier yesterday. New toys are always fun! So tonight I got to spend some time playing with my parabola......that sounds kind of dirty. whatever

Let me say that differently. Tonight at Bork Laboratories, we did some scientific testing of a new way to modify light.

Due to the large diameter of the parabola (it measures 6'3" in diameter) I was concerned about only having an 8' ceiling. However, by placing the light source at a height of 4' 11", there were still 4" clearance between the top of the parabola and the ceiling. Cutting it close there!!

Meter readings were encouraging and in my few test shots, I really liked the quality of light. Currently, my largest modifiers are 40" brollys, so having something that measures over 6 feet is really going to come in handy.

For the curious, follow the jump:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Shaped much like an umbrella, but designed to redirect all light straight outwards. Essentially, this is a 6' wide spotlight. The backing is silver, and over top of it there is a large sheet of fabric that acts as a softbox, so I can use this for different purposes by removing the fabric or shooting with it.


To give some perspective, I stood in front of it and fired the camera. I'm 6'1", and I can only reach the tippy top if I stretch all the way.



I wasn't going to schedule someone to come over until I had a chance to play around with the thing, so I photographed the only person I had handy.
