So I recently got my hands on my first pair of flash guns, umbrellas and stands and was wondering if there was anyone out there, who has experience with such equipment, who'd be willing to set me some challenges and tasks that'll help me learn how to use the equipment in a hands on way? The...

Sorry about my attitude at the start of the week. I was getting stressed about my last few A level exams and self doubting about art college etc etc. What i've done is bought a pair of YongNuo 560 IIs + transmitter/recievers + stands and shoot through umbrellas. The two speed lights set me...

Wow, some of the pictures here are really impressive. I've got to give this a go. :P

I fail to see your logic? It is almost implying that because the lighting in the photograph is simple I should not like it or want to produce images like it... It feels like a similar logic to telling someone who wants to play rockabilly music that they should play something different because...

This is pretty much why i didn't rush in and buy one. I came here in hopes that I would find someone who had first hand experience with them.

I understand that the two things i have listed now are very different but my point is that since I haven't tried either yet that difference doesn't really matter to me as both will be completely new experiences. The comment regarding 'what i want to produce' was more in response to how the...

Ok, so i've started to look into flash guns. Yongnuo seems like an extremely good brand given their performance/price. My main question now is do i need a Master in order to use slave lights or can the place of a master light be taken by a transmitter on my camera's hotshoe? At the...

Hello! This is my first post on this forum; I came here as i needed some advice. Firstly i'd like to apologise in advance as I can see that this subject has been done to death in the past but even after looking over previous threads I couldn't find an answer that quite hit my query on the...
