Hello,
So I just bought my Nissin Di622($139 w/ free shipping at buydig.com) to use as an off camera flash. I have a Canon 40D and from the reviews, I have read that the Nissin can be triggered by the pop flash from my camera, or the IR from a master, no pocket wizard.
I dont have a master yet(baby steps, still saving for it). The plan is to use the nissin as a slave and get a canon used 480 EX II(about $250 at BH/Adorama) as a master instead of buying a whole bunch of strobe lights. What else do I need, I am not looking to go pro or something like that, I want to build little by little a home studio where I can do photo shoots and be mobile enough to take it where ever I want to.
I think I need to get a stand for the flash right? And do I have to get a soft box or umbrella too?
Any ideas will be helpful. Sorry for so many questions, I am a noob here.
Thanks.
