I'm slowly working my way through the strobist blog and looking for a bit of advice on kit.
I currently have a 430EX and 400D. I recently got a couple a YN04-II transmitter/receiver from FITP which works great at getting the flash off camera but now I need a bit of advice on what next.
As space (and victims) are limited I can't really justify even a mini-studio setup at the minute (though I'm keeping an eye on this thread testing out the cheap ebay kits) and will probably stick more to table top use of flash with a bit of portrait now and then.
The new Lumo flash out soon looks interesting. Would this be enough to light the background with the 430EX the main flash or is a 3rd light needed to really do high key portraits? Anyone have any other advice for a flash option?
Also if I bought a couple more of the flash trigger receivers could that trigger another flash (or 2) with only 1 transmitter? I assume this would work but just wanted to make sure?
Cheers
