you also can include the third party flash model in first post . to make it more informative.

perhaps, you can invite others to share their thoughts and experience with their flash so you would have reviews from real time users.
then perhaps share pictures shot?

well we had flash diffuser discussion http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=369828

strangely no topic about flash.

anyway my latest avatar was done using flash.

Canon EOS 550D with phottix trigger, flash is placed on the right side of the subject, with DIY snoot + tissue inside to diffuse the light. can't remember the flash power (i use 430EX II, manual).

The camera setting is at f/8 | 1/200 | ISO200 (but i PP the photo by brightening it)

i think its high time for a flash topic. lol. because some people have alot of questions with regards to flash in general and not just with regards to specific brands.

i'm in support of this thread. can consolidate all flash related stuff........... but since i'm not moderator of this section, we'll wait for them big boys to decide.

btw you missed out Sigma and Vivitar. among many other brands out there.

you could also list triggers, Phottix, Canon ST-E2 for Canon cameras, Pocket Wizards, Radio Popper. blbalbala..............

my favourite resource for understanding flash / science of light is at http://strobist.blogspot.com/ ......... though I should be making a habit of visiting it more often.

i dont really know much thats why i missed out on other 3rd party flashes... it would be good if someone could provide a comprehensive list.

and thanks for your support... really appreciate it...

shud includes Metz flash as well under 3rd party list...

but flash got a lot more, you're listing those hotshoe flash only. we haven't gone into STUDIO flash.

one contribution to creative flash photography

thanks for the info, if others have more do share. and also share your flash photography
im sure most of us would like to know flash in food photography

Yeah , I also need to learn more about strobist and how to take a perfect wireless photography .

Maybe we could make our own Strobist TT one day ?

maybe it would be a good idea. but it would require wide space.

Looks cold. any pp?

i think the 'cold' look actually works.

choice of color reflects the feel of temperature. that's why food we go for warmer color / WB.

Anyone here mind to give some ideas?

Should i get Nikon Speedlight SB600 or SB900 for my D90..
not sure which to get..price oso kinda big diff yeah 1 SB900 = 2SB600 xD

go ahead

just change the WB

come let's TT for strobist

food photo

SB900 can become commander and slave
SB900 can recycle time is way faster than SB600
SB900 has never Interface

the downside is the size. very bulky
