Good flash/lighting for a beginner?
I'd like to take the next step and purchase some good lighting equipment....but I took a look on Adorama.com and there's only about 1,001 different choices and I'm thoroughly confused about what I should purchase. I use a bridge/prosumer camera (for now...) so unfortunately, I don't have the ability to attach a better flash (all I have is the pop-up). Is there some kind of portable flash or other kind of lighting equipment that doesn't need to be attached to the camera that I can carry with me? If not, what would you suggest for at-home lighting.....a softbox? monolight? slave? umbrellas? reflectors? I'm new to the whole artificial lighting department, so I just need a little insight, advice. Thanks so much.
It is possible to use a light activated slave with your camera.
If you have the ability to control shutter/aperture values you could make a strobe work with your camera.
I really do not like continuous light for photography; the color can be weird and, most of all, I can't afford the electricity bills that continuous lights run up.
Invest in a quality strobe and it will last a very long time.
