New photography gear!
Made my first purchase of a remote lighting system… well, half of it anyway.
Let me explain…
I already had the camea and the flash, but I needed a way for the flash to fire “off camera” remotely and there are two ways to do this. 1) with a cord, or 2) without!
Option 2 was what I went for even though it’s more expensive, it’ll be worth it later on
I bought the equipment from Vanbar in Carlton, and I was served by an awesome fellow by the name of Nick. He helped get setup and gave us a good deal too with the lightstand, umbrella, and a few other items. I should also mention that Vanbar was recommended to me by another photography sales person, but from a different shop, Digital Camera Warehouse in Northcote where I bought other little things like lens cleaners and memory card cases.
ANYWAY… I’m happy about this latest purchase. It’s not the top of the line stuff, but just having the ability to trigger a flash remotely for a different look makes me feel that I’m moving up in the photography world!

Good stuff, Glenn. When you shoot some hot models, please invite me (o:
