The 5-in-1 Premium 80cm Reflector with Handles from Phottix is a great
way to fill in shadows and add tonality to your photos or video. A
reversible sleeve has gold, silver, black and white surfaces that zip
around a translucent white disc. The gold side provides a late afternoon
sun look while the silver bounces a cooler, more contrasty look with
emphasis on highlights and specularity. The white side provides a soft,
neutral reflectance that's great for filling in shadows and raising the
tonal value of the shot. The black side provides negative reflectance or
absorption of light. Use it to block light or subtract reflected light
and create shadows or a lighting ratio. Used on its own, the translucent
disc will quickly diffuse a harsh light source or reduce shadows and
contrast in midday sunlight. The 5-in-1 sets up immediately and folds
down quickly to one third its open size for storage and transport.
