    Best online teacher ever. Always surprised with how you make an extra creative move in every video, like taking half of the grid on the softbox. Congratulations for every video.

    Nice that girds are included or more affordable. I remember when a grid cost as much as a softbox. Thanks for the idea of peeling away part of the grid for more creative options.

    Thanks Gavin for the always useful insights....I must say I have always bought lighting modifiers with the grid included...finding options for grids after purchase is sometimes difficult and always expensive. The Glow series from Adorama is a prime example of well-made and reasonably priced equipment that almost always includes a grid with whatever modifier you purchase. Stay well and safe!
