my reasoning for shoot through is for dimly lit areas, i have some "dark" shots planned. so need a softish directional light.

the gold and silver i understand the glowing warmth especially for portraits.

thanks for the link, i appreciate it.
Just so you know... Shoot thru brollies are not directional. They act more like a light grenade or bare bulb. It throws light everywhere. It is easier to control light with a reflective umbrella.
