Buying an off-camera flash unit?
I want to try multi exposure shots of a car at night, lighting from different angles and merging the layers on photoshop, but I am new to off-camera flash.
I have an old Canon 300D, what would I need to buy to allow me to move the flash around?
It cant be a wireless flash unit as my camera doesnt support this. All the speedlights for canon on ebay are over £100, is this not very expensive? And what would I need to buy to connect the flash to the camera's hot shoe?
Thanks
Flash units are very expensive, depending from the features. If you take night shots, you could try to leave your shutter open for long time and just "paint" the car with a torch light or even walk around it using a cheap flash unit as standalone device. If is very dark and you set low ISO, you'll have enough time to use this technique without flooding the picture with light and overexposing. Also you won't need to use photoshop. Hope this help.
