Mini-softbox fashion show shoot, 11"x7" softbox

This post is about the light quality of the 11"x7" softbox (aka 12"x8" softbox or 30mmx20mm softbox) that I included in a hotshoe/speedlight/speedlight small modifier light test I previously posted. You can find it here. I used the 7x11 softbox from the test to shoot a fashion show. These are some of the pictures of the models.

I used a slow shutter speed and that caused some blurring where the ambient was strong but it doesn't effect the light on the face of the models. I was mainly interested in how this small softbox would work under those conditions.

I shot this with the flash/softbox in my left hand and the camera in my right. The models were at least 10 feet away in most of the shots. So I wasn't expecting any soft light and definately no wrapping. Even so I think the light looks reasonable.

Here is a profile shot of the softbox used.

In this shot she was closer than the other shots of the models.
