Hi, i want to use umbrella with my 430exII . i'm so new to this please excuse my lack of knowledge. My goal is to do portraits (friends and family for now not professional) and i worry with using my canon 430exII that using an umbrella i will lose too much light coz i read umbrellas do that but softboxes seem more expensive but i read that softboxes are more directional...does this make it easy for someone new to lighting?
Thanks from Casey.
