Question:

What do I need to use speed lights?

I currently use a Nikon D5100 but am soon upgrading to the D600. I want to be able to use several speed lights. I know I will need a transmitter, but not sure what else and how they go together.

Answer:

I agree with DeepBlue. I use a bunch of YN460's with some cheap radio triggers, You'll also want some lightstands and umbrella mounts. Example shots: flic.kr/p/9bWK3U flic.kr/p/8mggaa sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn /hphotos-ak... Basically, you'll put a receiver unit under the flash and put a transmitter unit on your camera. The transmitter will tell the flashes to fire when you press the shutter release. Remember not to set your shutter speed higher than your flash synch speed (usually around 1/200th max) or you'll end up with a large black band.
