Day 48, Learning 48: Umbrellas and Light

The rule of thumb is that the bigger the light surface, the softer the light.  This means that a 60 inch umbrella will produce a softer light than a 30 inch umbrella.  But it's important to remember distance.  A 30 inch umbrella at 2 feet will produce as soft a light as a 60 inch umbrella at 4 feet.
