Since this is a flash thread, anyone here uses a light stand + umbrella setup?

Care to show some pics and also the price? Planning to get one for wireless triggering.

Personally for me Flexibounce works better than Stofen (only have experience with the original SB900 which is similar to Stofen). But my favorite at the moment still the Demb Flash Diffuser.

I prefer the DFD over to flexibounce. Flexibounce loose too much power at wide open space.

That indicates that your flash is under power by certain exposure to light up the place properly.

Yeah, it depends on your settings or rather how much you rely on flash. My flash mainly for fill purpose only.

The number of shots you can take depends on your flash power that you used.
If you use your flash at full power for all your shots, of course the number of shots will not be as much as if you are using it at lesser power.

So, for all those people asking about the number of shots for a particular brand of battery: it all depends on the situation.

Why not just test them out? biggrin.gif

Yeah, given 2 scenario for example this guy uses flash at f/5.6 ISO200 1/100s where else another guy shoots at the same venue but using f/2.8, ISO800 and 1/60s perhaps. Different power will be used from the flash.

^ Actually some NiMH batteries don't slow down a lot when finishing, example is Eneloop. Only like the last 10 shots it slows down. No warning one :S. Can suddenly die off during shooting lol. Kena once :S.

If not mistaken, the 580EXII slows down the recharge rate as it start to build up heat.

Any flash will heat up if you keep shooting continuously and depends on how much power used per shot and how fast you shoot.
