As all photographers
are aware, highly reflective subjects like chrome and glass are notoriously
difficult to photograph. The new Covelite from Lastolite Ltd can now handle
these items with ease. The Covelite is cleverly designed as a cove-like
shape and has a smooth coated interior so that it encloses the subject
in soft, white reflections. It also has a minimum of seams (and those
that are present are very subtle and carefully placed) so as not to interfere
with the photograph. The fabric is translucent so the light can be placed
outside of the Covelite and the exterior panels can be flagged off to
put enhancing reflections onto the subject. The fabric is also crease
resistant but in any case, the tensioning bars pull out any of the creases
present. Of course, as you would expect from a Lastolite product, the
Covelite is collapsible making all three sizes extremely portable.
