First go at off-camera flash

Picked up some cheapo wireless transmitter/triggers of the Bay and a Lumiquest Softbox III.  The transmitter/triggers works like a charm!  No miss fires yet :-)  I LOVE the Softbox III!  I can see myself using it for my food and watch photos.   And maybe portraits too.  As of now I'm using my 550EX mounted on a mini tripod.  I will likely add a light stand and my wife's 580EX into the mix.  I'll also need to play around with backdrops, reflectors and whatnot.  But for now I'll play around with my white cardboard and one flash. 

Cheapo transmitter and trigger.

Lumiquest Softbox III


The Softbox III throws nice soft lighting!  I like a lot!  Can't wait to add a second flash and softbox!


The setup.
