Well, strobist or off camera lighting is not a new concept. It means to take the camera from the camera hotshoe and place it in a different position. Sometimes it means using more than one source of light. Digital cameras has made it easier for us to gauge our exposure immediately after taking a shot.

So what are the gear that we need , mainly

  • A Flash.  Personally I prefer a Nikon Speedlights for its portability.  The good thing about operating the flash in manual mode means we could still use some of the older Nikon Speedlights models like SB-22, SB-28 etc.  However if you have other brand of flash, they are still usable.
Ebay triggers
  • Triggers – There must be a way to trigger off the flash. There are the cheap ways (not so reliable)  or the expensive way (very reliable). The ones I used are from ebay  which are cheap and pretty reliable .
