<p>Hey!<br> I am trying to learn about Studio lighting setup but every time I go to youtube and open a video or start reading an article, I get lost as I do not have the basics. I have learned a lot about my camera in the past few months and now I think it is time for me to start learning about Flashes, strobes, umbrella's, softboxes and all the other gear. I have done some research though and I will order a flash so as I am learning about the speed lights (for a start) I can experiment at the same time. So is there a book or an online course that you "PRO's" would recommend on getting. I am so impatient to start learning more about light and all the other Camera gear. <br> Please note I am a Stay at home and trying to learn on a side as I have a little girl (1 yr old) and she is completely dependent on me.<br> Thank You so much for your responses in advance.</p>

<p>Thank You so much for your responses. I am so glad I found this website.</p>

Hi! My question is about taking pictures in mid day with harsh light using camera gear.. I know to get a better picture one should look for a shade but if there is no shade or one wanna take a picture behind a background than can a hood or any filter can help reduce the light and those harsh shadows. Also please note I know what a diffuser does but lets say you're out on a vacation and during mid day you want to take picture with a beautiful background so using camera gear how can you avoid or atleast get some less harsh shadows in your picture. I hope the way I explained my question makes sense.

Thank you for your responses. I know as soon as I get my flash next month I will play with on camera and then move to off camera and mount it on a stand with an umbrella. I don't want cords so remote trigger is what I need. I will Jos Van Eekelen look into the YN 622C trigger but can you please tell me if there are any specs I should look for?

<p>Hey!<br> I am a Photographer and looking forward to get a flash. I did some research and have narrowed down a flash for my Rebel 700D. I am looking forward to get a Yongnuo 568 ex ii but now I am confused for a flash trigger. what things should I look for when getting a flash trigger? </p>
