Lastolite Hi-Lite...

I was hoping to get some interesting ideas on what to do with my Lastolite Hi-Lite. I bought one recently on a whim, but to be honest I find myself unable to use it because I just can't decide how to use it for anything else other than as a High Key background.

I used it recently as a giant Sun-Blocker when I was taking pictures of Artwork.

I've put it up on adverts already, as I just don't think it's the right thing for me - but I'm willing to try any ideas you guys may have!

Yeh - I've used it as a softbox for some onelight portraits of myself. Just as a bit of fun tethering my 5D. It worked really well with the yongnuo flashes I have. I'm just caught in a conundrum - of do I really need a giant softbox like this? I don't do enough portrait work to require the lasto-lite - so now that buyers remorse has set in, I'm itching to find some other uses for it so I can justify keeping it!
