Flash field trip was a blast!

Too much fun! I did not feel hungry until it was time to go. 

We did not break a thing. That was a bless. 

Thank you for Riley who did most of the preparation job. 

And also many thanks for Tricia for helping to solve some of the problem for us.

Feel free to post this on your Facebook. It would only bring jealous, which is good.

 

 

Strobist is the definite site to check out

Folks,

What Jennifer suggests was a great website to learn flash photography. But now, you should all be able to understand what they are talking about and be able to learn from them.

Go check it out and find ideas for your own.

Remember, we will meet on the Riverwalk (near Pearl Brewery) at 6 p.m.
Billy Calzada will give talk on Friday.

Again, cheaper equipment with cord attached

I found another one off-camera flash TTL cord.

Cost a bit more at around $35. Sold at B&H.

The cheapest way to creat off camera flash (under $20)

I found this on Amazon. Looks like it works. But it has to be attached to a cord. However,  the ETTL function of flash is retained.
The best thing is, it only cost $17.75!

Now, you can put your flash to the side or with an angle with or without umbrella and let it shine your subjects at any angle without the expensive PocketWizard.

Of course, you will need to be very careful of not letting anyone (including yourself) trip your cord and eventually knock down the flash light.

I believe there is a version for Nikon flash light too. Google it.
