I've got one flashgun which also works remotely on A B and C channels. I tend to bounce it off the ceiling when taking indoors snaps and the results are pretty good.
But if I ever get the chance to do a dedicated portrait or family portrait shoot where the subject(s) is posing for the camera (my kids, if they ever manage to stay still ), I suspect I can do better with more lighting kit.
Has anyone got recomendations for cheap portrait lighting rigs e.g. umbrellas, stands, softboxes etc? I hear you can also get cheap flashes which actuate when they detect other flashes too.
Also, not sure what to do about backgrounds.
