I'm trying to figure out what I want to get for an external flash.
I need something that's backwards compatible with my film bodies, as well as my current digital setup.
At the moment, this is what's in my bag:
-Rebel XTi (moving in to a 5D or a used 1D by the end of the year)
-EOS 5
-EOS 1N
(BTW, the EOS 5 is in amazing shape, and I'm looking to sell it if anyone's interested).
Flashes are new to me, but lighting isn't. I understand the concepts of 3-point lighting, bouncing, balancing exposure, etc., but I usually opt to shoot with fast primes in available light for simplicity. I've finally broke and decided to find something to start bringing up the exposure on subjects to help balance them against a blown out background. I'd also like to try some setups with multiple flashes for shooting BMX and skateboarding shots late at night.
So there you have it, some heavy requirements, but I'm sure there's something out there that's going to work for me. Basically I want to start with 1 flash, and then buy some more to build a remote/slave setup later on. So I'm looking for something that I can 'grow in to'.
Any recomendations on Canon equipment, third party equipment, etc.?
Thanks, in advance!
