Your results are very impressive, and compelling. I'm blown away by the quality of light this smallish softbox produces, though not at all too surprised. Generally, I play with a larger softbox in the studio (48x36) but have been known to tote around a much smaller (16x12) softbox for use on location when studio strobes and larger equipment simply isn't practical or feasible. Even my small softbox can produce good results, though not quite as flattering in light quality as the larger unit. The Westcott Apollo looks like a fairly well built unit, definitely more rugged than my small 16x12 unit. I'm going to have to seriously take a closer look at it. Yes, it looks that good :-)) Beautiful work on the capture and processing of the images above. Quality work, Jacob :-) Cheers ~Gary Hi Jacob
