Hi guys,
I finally recieved (well 90% of it) my strobist gear tonight after a very long 3 weeks.
I already owned a 580 exII and420 EX flashes so most of what I bought was based around hotshoe flashes rather than studio strobes.
So today I recieved:
Yongnuo RF602 trigger and 2x receivers (can double as a wireless shutter release)
Speedlight Prokit (look them up they're pretty amazing as a mobile strobist solution) which includes 2 x softboxes (1 with a diffuser and the other with a large grid), 1x snoot with medium grid, 1x snoot with small grid.
2 x light stands (2.8m and 1.8m)
Rosco gels strobist kit
I have a 38" white shoot through umbrella and a couple of umbrella holders/ coldshoe mounts to come.
I'm looking for a large softbox to use with a speedlight so if anybody has any recommendations I'd love to hear them.
So anyway here's the result of my first attempt with an off camera flash setup. I'vegot a fairly serious collection of guitars and have never photographed any of them so I figured a couple of them would be a nice subject.
The first two are of my Dean USA Evo (my baby)
40D, ISO 100, 1/250, 70-200mm f/4L IS @ 70mm and f/7.1

40D, ISO 100, 1/200, 70-200mm f/4L IS @ 135mm and f/11

This one's my Cole Clark Fat Lady II acoustic. Solid body bunya pine, crystal pickup on the bridge and mic in the body. Amazing sound - I loooooove this guitar.

I'd love some C & C on these and I'll certainly be posting up some fresh shots in the nearfuture.
I mentioned a while back that I'd do a bit of a review on the Yongnuo triggers so I'll do some testing and post something up - so far I haven't had any misfires but haven't tested out their range.
Cheers, Ben.
