Reflector 1276

My latest addition to lighting equipment.
Especially when working in bright sunlight, a reflector is extremely handy. Here's mine.
It stretches out to approximately 7 ft x 5 ft 2" ( 2m x 1.5 m), and rolls up into a ball about 6" (15 cm) in diameter.
Originally sold as a sportsman's emergency blanket, it is light but tough (mylar, I presume), gold on one side and silver on the other.
When new, it is neatly folded into a package 4" x 3" x 05." (10 x 7.5 x 1 cm) which easily slips into your pocket.
From the photo, you can see that I chose not to try re-fold it. There is an advantage to having it scrunched: reflected hotspots are all but eliminated.
My brother bought me half a dozen of these at Liquidation World for 50¢ each.

Cool Shot.
Now I found a use for the other twenty or so that I have.
Thanks Bro.

Great idea Earl; mine only rides in my glove box - but may come out now, for non-emergencies.
