After reading up here, on Strobist.com and taking a Meetup.com studio lighting class last night, I did some shopping on Amazon tonight
I already have one SB-700
Ordered the following:
Amazon.com: Cheaplights NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Hot Shoe Flash Trigger and 2 Receivers Set for Canon Nikon Pentax,OTT-04GY: Camera & Photo
* Exact set sold by Cowboy Studios, only half the price. I was able to try these and the PocketWizard out last night, for what I'm doing, I'll go this route for now.
Amazon.com: CowboyStudio Photography 9 feet Professional Heavy Duty Light Stand for Photography and Video Lighting: Camera & Photo
* This was a more sturdy stand than the usual 7' entry level stands
Amazon.com: Fotodiox Umb-Soft-43-W Fotodiox Premium Grade Studio Umbrella Softbox - 43-Inch Shoot Through Translucent White - White: Camera & Photo
* Different than the usual umbrellas, acts similar to a softbox as well. For $16, what the hell
Also picked up a Cowboy Studios hot shoe adapter / umbrella holder for the top of the stand.
Not a bad setup for $67.
He also had a nice little flash to play with, this one had a sync cord socket I don't have on my SB-700... Not sure how this compares to the Yongnuo flashes I always read about. Seems like a decent flash for $43.
Amazon.com: Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite For Canon/Nikon Digital SLR Cameras: Camera & Photo
Now for some fun...
