Westcott Apollo Softbox

I just received my Westcott Apollo 28" Softbox in the post today from www.imagemelbourne.com.au. This is a great store, Leo's (the owner) dedication to customer service is almost unmatched, as are his prices. They have a good range of products and are worth a look.

Anyway, back to me. I'd seen this thing in action a a Strobist meeting and was blown away by the light. Unfortunately at that time they weren''t availiable in Australia and had to be imported through B&H or somewhere similar in the US for a ridiculous amount. (Shipping's about $50!!)

So I had to use it straight away. A simple self-portait. Just gotta get a little practice with it before I unleash it onto the world.
