  • I've realized that sometimes cheap, easy, and quick is better than pricey, inconvenient, and slow. It took me over 10 years to figure this out. Today, we show you the best lighting setup ever.

    EXACT same set up here. I also use the Magshoe with the AD200 (sometimes I go even lighter with a Metz M400 for Fuji) and the reversible-collapsible Westcott umbrella as well (which is sort of a pain to put back in the bag with the black cover on but it just works and gets the job done). Completely agree with the reflector as your first modifier, and absolutely agree about umbrellas... and about everything.

    I’m so glad that I switched to one body - one lens and using daylight for everything ha ha. Back in the day when doing the paid jobs I would have loved such a kit . Back then I used the bounce flash to get the desired look and prayed that I got it right first time, as on film you don’t know if it has worked until the prints came back - awful I know ha ha. But practice made perfect lol. We are so spoiled these days with digital . I am also no longer young and can only manage to stand without falling over in a light breeze , so as helpful as the tips were, I shall give the ideas a miss .

    I recently got a couple of Manfrotto Nanostands. As long as there is no wind, they’re fine with a shoot thru and a small flash. The Nanostand legs splay out pretty flat so you can easily weight them down if you need to. They’re a nice option to have when you can’t go lugging tons of gear around. I use them indoors too for light duty.

The Magmod grip seems like a good idea, but expensive. I use a cheap grip for speed-lite, but it doesn't include an umbrella hole, unless I add something to the top.

    Hello. Brill vid, ta. On the basis of this vid, I have subscribed. Your experience, presentation , humour and ability to teach made this excellent. It proves one does not need amazing videos to explain many things (nor silly / awful stock clips). Your talking-head (with some illustrations) video was a perfect explanation of the subject. I am not even interested in shooting in an urban environment nor changing to Fuji (albeit an excellent brand) so, prima facie, there was nowt here for me but, actually, I learned much. Cheers, best wishes from the UK and thank you.

Comes with a case and a removable reflective rear cover, so light spill can be controlled easily. Much more portable and faster to set up than my 32" softboxes, for run & gun stuff.

    It's so funny the we photographers move away from the shoot thru to a softbox and get kinda smug about it, then lug around big softboxes outside where they offer almost no advantage to an umbrella. Such a good way to get soft light outside, even just as a small scrim to soften sunlight
