After shooting the festival this week I decided the next PJ piece of the week would be a good flash and lighting accessories. I found myself in several difficult lighting scenarios. I owned the nikon sb-600, but the capacitor blew. In a pinch I purchased a vivitar. It is a great flash and puts out more light than my old flash. However, there are no off camera flash options and it is difficult to shoot in a limited light situation with your flash stuck in one place. I do believe until I buy a new flash, I will be buying a cord to use it off of my hot shoe, and the gary fong lighting kit to help soften the light and disburse it a little better. This weeks lecture in photojournalism is fill flash and I can't wait to get some questions answered.

Pocket Wizards are the way to go if you are going to be firing off camera a lot. Or you can check out Paul C Buff's cyber sync for a cheaper option.
