"You have cancer." No one wants to hear those three words. Especially not twice. To say Karen Norton was 'Overwhelmed' when she first heard she had breast cancer is an understatement. As a wife, a mom to two young girls, and a part-time music pastor supporting her family, she already had enough on her plate. But then came those three ominous words.

'Overwhelmed' is a journey of one woman's life of health issues that seemed would never end. Would her world ever be the same again? Would she survive? Could she ever be the person God wanted her to be in this life? Would she continue to struggle with health issues and the emotions related to the changes? Would she understand why God tested her with health issues?

Portable Flashes with Umbrellas

Whenever possible, I use line-powered monolights with umbrellas. These provide greater power and will light the umbrella surface with a wide, even pattern with only a minimum of central hot-spotting. However, for portable applications, or when line-powering of the flashes is neither practical or safe, using small battery-powered flashes is desired.

The problem with this is the limited spread of the flash itself. Unless you place an Omnibounce or UltraBounce on the flash, the benefit of the umbrella is reduced. It doesn't matter how large the umbrella is, if the flash is illuminating just a portion then you lose the wraparound nature of the light.

The FlashBender offers flexiblity in this, by attaching the FlashBender and firing the flash into it first which is then directed at the umbrella we are able to get the entire umbrella lit from the flash.

The FlashBender will shape not only in the concave position, but the convex position. If your flash is not wide enough to cover your wide-angle lenses, just adjust the FlashBender to an inverted-V shape which casts the light outward.
