I know NOTHING about lighting. But have a question.

[Ricardodaforce]

Hello all.

I have never done indoor stuff like portraits etc, but would like to give it a try. I have a Nikon D7000. If I was to buy something like the FotoQuantum LightPro Location Kit Flash FQE-200/200 which includes a trigger unit would it be compatible with my camera? Does the trigger connect the camera which in turn sets off the external flashes? Jeez I know nothing!

Anyone got any recommendations of good kits?

Thanks in advance.

Try some natural lighting by a window for starters, it gives u a real feel for lighting a portrait

Thanks Steve, but that didn't really answer the question.

To answer your question - yes, it will work. The radio receiver plugs into one head, any other heads have a slave cell that will 'see' the flash and fire instantaneously.

But you may want to avoid risk by buying into a known make - that isn't a negative comment about those flash heads, I know nothing about them and I've never heard of them before.

Awesome reply Garry so thank you. What are the 'known' makes? I've never done anything like this before.

In no particular order:
Bowens, Profoto, Lencarta, Elinchrom, Broncolor to name a few
