    Hi, I’m just getting into building a cheap strobist kit…just wondering, should I buy 2 shoot through umbrellas, 2 reflective, of one of each? (For two seperate flashes) And also, what type are you using in the vid?

    i just pre-focused and stood in the same place each time…. whoohoo 60 pounds saved!

    So you don’t have focus problems going back and forth using the set timer? I always had issues while trying to take self portraits and whatever focusing. My images would always be blurry.

    wireless remote?.. havent found an instance where i have needed it.

    the only way i would buy one is if i was doing a lot of star photography so with the d300 i can do bulb function.

  13. Bokehlicious717 says:

    dombower…may I suggest something? Have you thought about getting a wireless remote for your D300? I’ve got the TWIN1 R3-UT remote. Works wonders. $59 U.S. dollars. By the way love your videos.

    I gotta get my a flash and umbrella. :D

  15. dombower says:

    realy isnt any comparison. an umbrella is really handy, but i will try and make a video this week.

    i would highly recommend spending the cash on an umbrella

  16. jcblitz says:

    I’d like to see that too. I’ve been debating on getting an umbrella setup to play with but I’m not sure it would make any difference.

  17. dombower says:

    good thinking.,ill do that next

  18. trongs01 says:

    it’d be nice if u’d compared it to bounce flash with the ceiling.
