After seeing a local pro show a side-by-side comparison of outdoor portraits taken with and without additional lighting, I decided it's time to get my act together and learn how to do this properly. I love natural light photography--don't get me wrong--but good lighting can make a good image great.
1) So first, the equipment. I've researched this a bit, and have settled on the Yongnuo YN-568EX and the new YN-622N TX triggers (released in a few weeks, I hope). Is anybody willing to give a thumbs up or thumbs down or offer better alternatives? I'd love the SB-910, but the YNs are less than half the price.
Research on light stands, soft boxes, etc. still pending.
2) Where is a good place to start learning about lighting? Any tutorials or such that are good for lighting newbs?
