Hello! I am desperately trying to enter the world of off-camera flash, but there is so much information out there, I just can't put everything together to figure out what I need to buy to make it all work.
I believe I have taken my skill as far as I can with merely boucing it off of ceilings, walls, etc. (Of course there's always room for improvement in that area too, but sometimes I just want my light to come from somewhere else!)
I have a Canon 50D, and a 580EXii. (Will the 580exii even work this way or do I need to invest in a different kind of flash?) I am interested in some sort of stand that I can put it on, with a small softbox, and some way to make it fire even without "line of sight."
Does anyone know how I can get it to fire from several feet/perhaps yards away, while still on a stand and attached to a soft box?
Also, would anyone mind suggesting some actual brands or products that works for them?
Thanks so much!
