The ambient light for the outdoor portrait is again from behind the subject so fill lighting was required to balance the image. The same lighting techniques were used as above resulting in a great portrait with minimum fuss.

The image of 'yours truly' shows the beauty dish arrangement in use at an evening function where light is at a premium. You can see that there's nothing complicated about its use and because it's light, portable and versatile, it provides a handy alternative to straight flash in situations where it might be unavoidable. Although not all the accessories have been used in this test, the other items seem to be well made and were easily and quickly changed and carried in the boot of the car without much thought. Whilst some flash lighting accessories will modify the light in only one dimension you could purchase the complete Softlite accessory kit to modify the light in so many different ways for more or less the same financial investment.
