igord Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Do you know where to buy really small and compact umbrellas like 30-40 cm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_feigenbaum___dallas_ Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 are you talking about the type that are put on top of tropical drinks like Mai Tai's and PiNa Coladas??? or some extra small photographic type that i haven't seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_kimble Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 40 cm is just under 16 inches. Never seen one that small. It would take about a five gal Mai Tai for that size umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_feigenbaum___dallas_ Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Is that an invite for Mai Tai's???? That is do-able.. Just need a few photo.netters to join in the fun. Probably need auto-focus after , as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
._kaa Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 There ain't no such umbrellas. If you need more-or-less diffused sources of light that size, look into foldable and/or inflatable micro-softboxes for hot-shoe flashes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igord Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 I saw them in a passport studio but the business is closed unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_bell Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Couldnt you just get a 30-32 inch umbrella and put the lightsource really close to the umbrella? I would think a shoot through or soft bounce would do the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picturesque Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I have one. Got one as part of an Omni light Lowell kit. Also, there used to be one that came as part of the Soff Shoulder kit made by Larson Enterprises. Neither of these are made any more but maybe you can find them on ebay.
