Canon 1000D thread III! [general discussion]

[eleveninth]

Not necessary. My setup: 580EXII with ebay trigger & tripod as lightstand, not that costly. One could always settle for a third party flashlight.

mmm strobing.. delicious..

And to go into strobing, do save up because the equipment will cost you a lot.

agreed you dont need to save up much for proper strobist gear. 1 flash, a proper trigger and a tripod will do.

i suggest you just bookmark it.. and as for me, when i bookmark the address, i change the URL last page number to 50.. so when i click it, it will automatically go to the latest page and thread.. if not.. must keep saving the bookmark.. or click many pages..

get my point?

Agreed, but of course having 2 or more strobes would be better. More flexible depending on location/situation and allows experimentation of different lighting effects. I use the bowens gemini at work for product and portraits. On a personal level, bowens/elinchroms are overkill at this point in time. Speedlites or any 3rd party flash and a couple of lightstands would be enough as a start.

thats why i mostly use nikon flashes, plus they have PC syncs unlike canons pre 580EXII models. pfftt...

And, i envy you guys who have so much time to go out, shoot, PP and share your images in the photo gallery. Its a good effort and do keep it up. I have do so much PP and design at work that by the time i reach home, i can't even bare to switch on my PC haha. And the past wk has been horrendous in terms of tight deadlines and rush jobs.

Can't wait for the wkend. One more day.

Hmm.. that could be in general? Not too sure though. Also starting out to be a strobist too.

But how about lightbox & lamps for product shoots? Backdrop, studio lights and stands for indoor portraits?

These are part of a strobist gear too, am I right? :dunno:

Well, to each his own bro. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what the equipment is but the images produced. Nobody can stop you using whatever equipment you choose, as long as you're at ease with your equipment and happy with the output. :thumbsup:
