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. biggrin.gif 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. tongue.gif 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. tongue.gif

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... rclxms.gif really appreciate it...

Maybe we could make our own Strobist TT one day ?

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

thanks, lol i thought the 1st one is too bright/white, especially at the bottom part of the plate cause the flash is directed there.

i like your 3rd picture. picture 1 and 2 does not bring out the appeal of the food... just my noobie comment. rclxms.gif

and what is 'slave' actually? blush.gif

bleh, i prefer buy what you need, not what you can afford.

Di622 ok what. you can buy a few of them and optically trigger.

why do you need 580EX II when 430EX II can do the job?

i agree here. if a cheaper albeit weaker flash suffices, why spend alot more for something which u dont necessarily need?
save the extra cash and when u NEED something else, go get it tiger. laugh.gif

1st your composition needs working

2nd shooting food, you can point the flash to the behind the food, towards the sides perhaps. let it bounce to create highlights.

studio shoot food and restaurant shoot food uses same concept but at restaurant is a lot more challenging, i don't use flash........... even till today. cos flash annoy the crap out of people in restaurant, and draw too much attention. biggrin.gif

Was that photo taken in a studio or restaurant? Is the white background the table or white backdrop?

yeah. i feel that too. flash photography is about how the photographer manipulates light from the flash as well as his surroundings to create an image that would not have been achievable without such manipulation. tongue.gif my noob interpretation.
