I wrote that FAQ entry and I think they're all good buys. Why would we bother listing something that isn't?

Godox also makes good third party flashes and are more popular recently, but I'm less familiar with their model numbers.

This was the setup and this is the flash. Just a cheap Yongnuo

Flash for my camera

Yup, correct. It's a fully manual flash. They offer TTL versions (ttl = through the lens metered flashes, they figure out exposure for you) for both nikon and canon cameras, but those are more expensive and I don't really think they're necessary either. This is one of them, the same one /u/FreeCreativeName was talking about. :)

HEY! Thanks for the links! I took a look. It I want something to be more automatic, and basically just have the flash and camera figure it out for me, would you recommend the this, or this? Thanks again!

I have a Canon T3i / 600D. I'd like to start using an off-camera flash, and I've read the Strobist 101 guide.

I'd like to use the wireless flash trigger built into the T3i, but my budget probably won't stretch to a Canon speedlight just yet. I'd like one of the sub-£100 Yongnuo flashes but I can't work out which ones are compatible with the T3i's wireless function.

Would something like this Youngnuo YN-565 unit work? Essentially I'd like to stick the flash on a pole with an umbrella, and trigger it using the native wireless function on my T3i.

Are there any better options around the £100/$150 range?

Ha, sorry about that.

TTL stands for "through the lens." In this case, a TTL flash will work with the camera meter to adjust the flash power according to the scene you are shooting.

A "non-TTL" flash will not adjust automatically, YOU have to make all the settings on the flash yourself. This is a much slower way of shooting, but you will learn a lot through trial and error. I highly recommend getting a TTL flash. (e-ttl if you are shooting Canon-see below)

In your case, that flash does not appear to have TTL ability. This one, that is slightly more expensive, looks like what you want. http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-YN-565-Flash-Speedlite-Canon/dp/B00844N5OC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394934593&sr=8-1&keywords=Yongnuo+ettl

i-ttl is specific to Nikon cameras.

E-ttl is specific to Canon cameras.


In my case, I use several on stands, set up in various areas and at different flash power to create different lighting effects, then fired with a trigger that makes all 3 of my flashes fire at the same time.

a 500D and 50mm f1.8 can already take some pretty great portraits. I did a quick search on 500px for "500D 50mm" to see what other people have done with that same gear and I got this:

then I found this guy's page, and all he does are portraits with a 500D and 50mm f1.8:

So you already have the gear for portraits. What you need is a place to shoot models and a way to control how the light falls on them. You can buy a beginner lighting kit and then a flash and once you spend a little time studying lighting and posing it's unbelievable how much your portraits will improve without spending a single cent on other gear.

Photographer friends! I'm finally going to buy some lighting equipment, so I was looking for any recommendations. My budget is around $500 for a two light setup. I usually shoot costume photography (at conventions and outside of them) and portraits.


I would like to go with Yongnuo for the triggers (YN622) and flashes themselves (probably 1 565EX and 1 560).


I have no idea what to go with for the stands (Maybe Manfrotto Nano or Lumopro Compact?), swivels, and umbrellas, except that I'd love for them to be small and light (I'm weak!).


I'm also not sure what modifiers to pick up for using an on-camera flash, like a softbox (LumiQuest Softbox or Lastolite Ezybox?), the Gary Fong Lightsphere that everyone has, or something else (LumiQuest Quik Bounce?).


I will put some good rechargeable batteries (Eneloops?) into my budget, but is there anything else that I'm missing?


Also, I'm not in a hurry to pick any of this up, so are there any sites to keep an eye on for sales?


Thanks!

I use this with my Canon T2i. It works fine.I did get mine on Ebay. You will need to get some LiOn batteries. Don't use alkaline batteries in it. I suggest you read the first few reviews at the bottom of the Amazon page in full. Have fun.

Here are some links for the product in the above comment for different countries:
