Flash Shopping

I did a bit of shopping today in preparation for leaning about flash photography. Here's what I bought:

One shoot through umbrella and one reflective umbrella
Two stands
Two flashlight holders
A 5-in-1 beauty dish
A remote speedlite trigger
A variable neutral density filter (OK not for flash so much but I needed one)
All gear is Godox - Total cost 400RMB (£41/US$64)

I also priced up the Yongnuo YN-560 II Speedlight Flash 380RMB and a Vertax battery grip for a Nikon D7000 I negotiated it down to 430RMB. The camera sure does feel comfortable when the battery grip is added.

I took some guidance from Improvephotgraphy.com their free podcasts are great I strongly recommend them. The only thing is they keep talking about a magic camera called "Nykon". I'll stick with the British pronunciation of Nikon as it's exactly the same pronunciation as in Japan. Wakarimasuka? Hai, wakarimasu Nikon desu.
