Speedlight/Flash Suggestions (Cheap)

[DowntonMini]

Afternoon

Having recntly brought a SplashArt kit from this forum I keep on thinking I should get 1 or 2 cheap off camera flashes/speedlight I already have one.

Looking at the setups people use they appear to have 2 or 3 flashes to add colour to the lighting. SO I'm after something reasonably cheap that I can use I have a set of triggers and receivers.

Can anybody recomend any that may be suitable I don't want to spend a fortune as they will probably only be used with the splashart kit.

I will be using them with a Nikon D7000

Thanks

Don't want to put you off, but I use 4 flashes with my Splash Art kit. One at each side, one for the background and one for the front. I use a Yongnuo 622TX and 4 622 units to individually control power.

Here are two from last week:-

Sometimes I use two on the background and have to separately light the foreground with daylight bulbs. Gels as appropriate.

Nothing is set in stone.

It's a frustrating exercise!!!
