Hi,
I started a thread a few months ago as I am a total beginner looking to start to photograph antiques etc for online sales/eBay etc.
Following the advice on here I now have a Canon G12 but now need advice on what flash gun to buy to go with it.
From reading other threads it seems like I need to be lighting the items from the side (using a flash not a constant source) and use a hotbox or similar to diffuse the flash.
I am thinking about the following....
G12 on a tripod with a remote shutter release, with a flash (possibly a Speedlite?) on a tripod mount to one side with a Lastolite Ezybox Softbox.
Can anyone offer any advice as to what flash I should be buying and if my proposed set up sounds fit for purpose?
Thanks again.
