Mc 40

While I had this loaner a while back, I took the time to get a pic. (dragged out the Alien Bee to light it) Thought I'd approach it in Dave's (DiD) style.





Oh, if you click on the pic, you'll see a slightly larger version.

It's a bit unfortunate that you can see the light setup in the headlights reflection.

Agreed, it does have a different character to it. Almost like the paint is wet.

Portmanteau Words / Umbrella Reflection

Gloopy - a phonemic blending of the words "glob" and "goop," thus, a glob of goop.

It's a Portmanteau word.

I was actually straining my back to get that umbrella reflector to show its complete shape in the headlamp. In my mind was the memory of some old fashion photos where the model's sunglasses (or eyes) reflect the studio umbrellas. Any of you know what I'm talking about?
