- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi, I'm new to this place and I have a question that I'm sure someone can help me out with.
Okay, I'm 18 years old, going to be a senior in high school, and our video club director borrowed me a Canon EOS 20D for the summer, and I want to attempt to take my own senior photos this fall. However, the techniques that I was looking up that I kind of liked require a couple of optical slave flashes. Well I'm not looking to spend a whole lot of money on professional lighting equipment because I have other things I need to save money for, so I was wondering if I could make some makeshift optical slave light stands out of some small halogen light bulbs. So this is what I want to do: I want to plug the plugins for the lights into a sensor that senses the master flash from the camera, and when it senses it, allow the slave lights to come on, and then shut off right away as any other flash would. So does anyone know of an optical sensor that has an outlet installed on it that works how I described?
Thanks a lot!
Ron
