The Basement Strobist Episode One: What Flash and where do I buy them?

[Rockeargesell]

I really liked your videos. And I'll request you if you can make a tutorial for photoshop editing. Thanks.

Hi, which beauty dish you have in a your video? self made?

[bigbs4]

@ikezz This is indeed a home-made beauty dish based on the design of David Tejada. Google his name and beauty dish and you'll pull up the links to his site and the instructions for making one yourself. They are designed for the Nikon SB-800, but with some modifications, you could create one to fit most speedlights

Hey I got one question. I cant afford a light stand. Does the original flash shoe(that comes together when purchasing) has a screw mount for tripod at the bottom?

[bigbs4]

@RadicalEditing No Hot Shoe as threads for mounting them to a tripod or stand.  Nikon's late model flashes such as the SB-800 has a small flat "foot" with 1/4" standard threads for mounting. Lightstands are roughly 75.00 USD. I advise to save up until you can afford one. Jury rigging runs the risk of ruining or dropping you hard earned flash :)

Great info thankyou for uploading.regards

What flash woud I buy for Canon 7d? An affordable one.

[bigbs4]

@lllholder

In the video we stated that we are shooting in Manual Mode and the Flash is in Manual Mode. Find a flash that has a PC Sync jack and a Manual mode. You'll be good to go. When you shoot on manual, brand specific flashes really don't matter. In the video, I talked what places and resources to find them.

@lllholder Yongnuo Yn-560 flash ($70) plus Yongnuo RF-602 wireless triggers ($30)
