Camera Shoe Mount
Continuous output lighting or off-camera flash?
I’m very new to portrait photography. For extra light, do you prefer continuous output lighting or an off-camera flash? Only as examples, I have listed two possible choices.
Continuous output lighting kit from Smith Victor: http://www.adorama.com/Als/SVK42U.html
Off-camera shoe mount flash from Nikon: http://www.adorama.com/Als/NKSB600AFU.html
Thank you for any help you may offer.
Flash (strobe) lighting every time for me – less of a pain to WB and you are able to control the relative levels of flash & ambient in the shot (with continuous lights its all ambient of course!).
I’m assuming you have a Nikon as you linked to an SB600? This will work off camera wirelessly (incl TTL flash metering) if you have a compatible CLS commander camera – that’s the D70, D80, D90, D200, D300 & D700. It’s pretty pricey though at around £220. There are cheaper & better options.
If you can learn how to control flash output manually (and its easy) you can ditch the reliance on TTL (which can be unreliable & unreproducible) – that will broaden your Off Camera Flash options considerably. You might want to look at the Yongnuo 560 manual flash – at around £60 it is a lot cheaper – same output as a SB600, same zoom head, same manual steps, but all that’s missing is TTL control.
Get a set of RF602 radio triggers (£27 for 1 Tx + 1 Rx) and you’re good to go. With the money you’ve saved, you can afford more flashes, stands & modifiers (soft boxes, umbrellas etc).
For large output, you might want to consider a portable battery/mains powered monolight (studio style) strobe. Alien Bees are popular in the US. In the UK, Quantuum lights are good – can get a 300 W/s light with DC battery pack for less than the price of a SB600.
Edit: the best site to learn about off Camera Lighting is the Strobist blog;

There is a short vid a little way down the Lighting 101 page that gives a great intro into the gear & some examples of lighting with it.
