Hello!
I am considering a speedlight (off camera flash) to improve my macro shots (and maybe use them for FTS).
Currently my led floodlights are not giving enough light to shoot at the desired settings (FTS okay but macro not). And I don't really have space/opportunities to expand more light over it.
Someone told me that led floodlights are totally different than studiolights for photography. For example you can't compare the lumens of them both as they have a totally different effect. Is this right or just a trick to sell lights?
I want to shoot shrimp/fish at a:
diafragma of like 15
shutterspeed 1/160
Should I go expensive and go for more "easy" E-TTL shooting (I'm a beginner) or cheaper and go full manual with a yongnuo? Yongnuo suits my budget better than a canon 430ex for example
What is recommended for aquarium photography? Optical or radio trigger?
Currently looking for the yongnuo 560 iv. If I ever expand to two flashes can I trigger them both with just one yongnuo RF-603?
Also ideas are welcome, how to put the flash (safe) above the tank w/o falling. No really space for tripods beside.
