@ShutterThink I'm interested to know what brand of flash bracket you're using? I've seen a few from Interfit and Lastolite, but they don't appear strong enough to secure three flashes and triggers.. If you could let us know which one it is you're using and possible where to buy, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

I have a nikon D3000 can I ever get those kind of photos with my image sensor? For some reason your pictures look like magazine material compared to mine

[ShutterThink]

@infringinator it is all about using your gear the right way. If you expose it correctly, light it well and edit it in a decent way, your image will look fantastic. I shot with a Canon 20D and a kit lens for four years before I could afford my current camera and I built a portfolio with it.

@IsaacMaganaMusic If you balance the ambient light with the strobe light, any light can look good. Especially since these are shots of a scene. If these were head shots, I would use a shoot-thru umbrella and a reflector for nice, soft, even light. Plus, hard light looks good on guys. Cheers!

Awesome Video, you explain the technical side very well. Keep the good work up.

@infringinator how do you edit your photos

[owievisie]

Funny how you hold your camera (left hand)

BUT

The foto's and explanation are really good, really enjoyed this

I found a new channel to subscribe to thanks

Very nice shots with some fairly affordable lighting equipment! Well done!

@shamroc77 You have to use a master flash (unless you have an internal commander in your camera) to trigger your slave flashes. Then there is an option in your camera settings that allows high speed sync. The Radiopopper PXs than translate the infrared signal to a radio signal for greater distance and reliability when shooting out in the sun.

@ShutterThink Ah, ok. Let me see if I've understood you correctly. As long as I'm using the built-in wireless communication (Nikon CLS, in my case) with other gear from the same [Nikon] manufacturer, it will allow for such high flash sync speeds?

[ShutterThink]

@shamroc77 When you are using Canon strobes with a Canon body (or Nikon with Nikon) you can't get that line. It's only when you are using other brands of strobes and your camera can't communicate with those strobes.
