[QUOTE="Broke, post: 489426, member: 40595"] This is my first post so let me start by saying hello. My name is Tim and recently I've taken photography back up as a hobby. I've been looking into getting a speedlight but am clueless where to start and my searches have always led me to Nikonites... so hopefully ya'll can help me out with my questions. Since this is pretty much like a hobby errr lets just say I've only sold enough photos to pay for my camera equipment in the last year and a half :p I'm looking at third party speedlights rather than jumping on name brands. First I thought I was going to buy two Altura Photo Speedlight kit off amazon ($150 with pretty great reviews, remotes and triggers included) but all my searches led to forum posts of people saying they never heard of it try Yongnuo's. So here's my questions and where I'm at... I will be using a Nikon D3200, 18-55 & 55-200 kit lenses plus a Tamron 90mm Macro lens to be shooting indoors with the flash off camera. Mostly still life's, abstract photo's, macro, and of course the extremely original water drips and splashes that I'm sure everyone does with their first speedlight. My budget is around $150-200. Does anyone have any experience with the Altura Photo® Professional Speedlite Flash #AP-N1001)? I'm worried that the price is to good to be true... Plus all my research has led me to Yongnuo. Leaning towards a Yongnuo YN568EXN-USA i-TTL with Yongnuo RF-603 N3 2.4GHz Wireless Flash Trigger. If I go with this set up will this be everything I need to get started? Such as If I set it up and use my Nikon wireless shutter remote to trigger the camera to trigger the flash through the RF-603 N3 or will I be missing some pieces? Also is the Yongnuo YN568EXN-USA i-TTL a good model to go with while giving me room to grow with and move to other Nikon bodies in the future? Sorry that I rambled so much is my post, as you can tell I really am clueless about speedlights and options. All I know so far is that I'm stuck using the flash in manual off camera but all the other details are pretty much sound like elevator music to me but that's what trial and denial is for! Any advise and suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance! -Tim [/QUOTE]
