Be honest...

So I was just posting a questions about twistflex backgrounds and it got me laughing to myself about the first collapsible reflector I got, after I opened it up, I had a hard time figuring out how to fold it back up! Seriously took me nearly a half hour. Now it's a breeze.

So it's a Friday, be honest did you have issues closing or folding up your first reflector or white screen? :P

Well yes, actually both my husband and I tried to figure it out on the reflector. We got half of it together on the first try, but couldn't figure it out how to get it smaller to get back into the case. It only took us a couple of tries by the time we figure it out.

I'm so guilty as charged, matter of fact I gave up on, sat down and had a beer. Wifey comes home, ask's what this was (I left it on the table) I tell here and no joke, she picks it up and folds it! I felt like a complete idiot :rofl:

It was like a kernel of popcorn, the first reflector I attempted to unfold flipped like three feet in the air

OMG when my first reflector came in, my brother was the one who was able to fold the thing up, after he got them back in the storage sleeves I kept them there. LOL I don't think it was a few days before I decided to crack it back open!

I feel like reflectors are one of the practical jokes play on us, for photography.

My first and only one took about 20 minutes to fold up, it was actually a fitness matt 4 feet wide by 2ft, that I converted to a gold, white reflector, total cost $25.00. Probably the most frustrating 25.00 I ever spent.:toocrazy:
