You could go without the soft box and just work with hard light or try to find sources to bounce the flash off of. If you have some help maybe have someone bounce the flash into a small foldable reflector?

That's fantastic, what a cool find! I've been dipping back in to film photography again lately, and it really is a totally different experience. Mostly 35mm stuff, some old Minolta gear, Ricoh, and a weird little 110 camera, I'm about halfway through a roll of that. But a couple weeks ago, I found a "Tower Model 7" fixed focus 120 film box camera, for 7 bucks! It seems to be fully functional, and I'll likely pick up some film and do some messing about soon! What a lovely experience film photography is. Anyways, Great video! I just LOVE the size of that second one! I look forward to seeing more!

Great video! Love those 50s and 60s cameras. The design language, the tactility, the mechanical-ness.. they all feel built to survive nuclear war. The fact that you can pick up a 70 y/o beat up camera, load it up with brand new film and get amazing results will never cease to amaze me. Imagine finding a box of digicams and DSLRs 50 years from now only to have the batteries dead/leaky and the old flash memory unreadable and new sticks nowhere to be found.
Thank you! I agree! love that these two are 100% mechanical.
you know there will be plenty of strange nerds restoring those in 50 years
Hope you enjoyed my first video, did you spot the moose?
