Would you use the cardboard for bouncing light as well?

 

white one, yes

 

Ah yeah, white that makes since, I was thinking brown my bad. How much do off camera flashes run?

or go to staples and get a white board ( nevermind my ripped couch) lol

 

do you use you flash as a slave?

 

Master flash just have one for right now >=]

 

how do you do OCF?

 

Triggers, ebay triggers. They work great! I went to the restroom and i told my dad to see if the flash was flashing in the living room and it fired every time! highly recommended for the budget user

i think ive decided on cactus transmitters

 

i seen reviews on youtube on the cactus v3s, awesome product for the price

mine is the ct-04

 

In search of two softboxes now, maybe one softbox and a umbrella

 

Since i just bought that lens i have no money. But next is another flash. two flash stands. soft box and umbrella. and transmitters.

 

yellow fever i love it

 

When you bounce flash off of things, be careful. You can introduce unintended color in your pictures. Pick a green wall and you'll get a green tint.

The cheapest way to shape light is with a reflector. This can be foam-core (get it at an art supply/framing place) or a highly reflective surface. For example if you had a window and a white wall next to it.

If you want to diffuse the light, you can use translucent materials like a bed sheet or the diffuser in a three way reflector kit (these go for about $50).

Lots of DIY ways to shape light.

 

Color version?
