For those who want to know more about lighting...

Dude.. I've been all over that site in the last 2 weeks or so. In fact, I ordered the infinity gadget thingys last Friday. I'm not sure flash photography is my thing, but I'm interested in at least learning more than I know now.. which is virtually nothing.

 

It would be great if anyone from here participates, to post their strobist shots.

 

Which kit did you get?? Im thinking of getting an ST-E2, stand, & umbrella for now.

 

I got these..
No umbrella or anything. So, I guess I need to join flickr?

I was looking over it and also the Lighting 101 section. Not sure what I would really need. All these damn add ons I could sell my S and still not have money for it all.

 

I'm thinking about doing their bootcamp too. I don't want to do the pc outlet connection to flash, so I'm thinking aboug picking up some pocket wizards, but man... those things are pricey (~$300 for a set).

 

I joined Flickr and will be reviewing Lighting 101 before I decide on what gear I'm going to want for it.

 

So, my Gadget Infinity V2 wireless trigger arrived on my desk this morning, so I'll try it out tonight. I don't have a umbrella, but I do have the 5-in-1 reflector kit from Alien Bees, so I'll play around with the 'shoot-through' diffuser and the reflectors to see what happens. I'm sure it will mostly be trial and error.

I only have one cheap tripod, so the flash will be mounted on that, and then I need to figure out a way to make the diffuser/reflector stay where I want it. Should be interesting.

 

Awesome. Keep us posted. Especially on the range & if it mis-fires.
