to the Butterfly Frame. For many years, only the basic
materials were used such as scrims to reduce light,
silk to diffuse light and Solid to eliminate light.
More recently many new materials have been added to
allow many degrees of diffusion (Grid Cloths, Black
Silks, etc.) plus many new reflective materials are
now available to make large reflectors for both sunlight
and aritificial light such as Matthflectors, Grifflectors
and Lame's. |
