It takes a little time to get that feather thing going, but it is so worth it. When it is full sun, I find that the gold cards are very far from the model... sometimes more than 20 - 25 feet. That makes it easier for the model to look at you instead of that blinding gold thing. Hope that helps.

I was about to get out a flash and cross light, but decided to use my gold reflector instead. Problem was she was being blinded by the reflection. How you avoid squinty eyes and pained expressions? I understand how in the final shot because the light is being feathered away from her eyes, but in the patio shot where the reflector is the main light I'm puzzled.
