Experimenting with Speedlite

[Phil789]

So I just recently got a Speedlite and here are some of the shots I have been playing around with. First time for anything like this

Hi, like the pics, just wanted to ask how you had the speedlight set up (as in off camera or not, how is it connected to the camera) as i've just got one and need to start experimenting too.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dan.

It was off camera, and triggered using some Yongnuo RF-603 radio triggers. They have been great so far and a decent price. You can only go full manual this way but if you are looking to creative off camera stuff you are probably interested in using manual anyway.

If you want off camera E-TTL then I think you would have to look at something like pocketwizards which are substantially more.

The Yongnuos are perfect for what I want and get great reviews

I love the two candle ones those are brilliant the others have not come out bad it's just that the first two eclipse them
