Quick review of some strobist accessories I happen to have on hand.
Strobist is the use of off camera portable electronic flash units to light a scene. Advantage of moving your main direct flash unit off the camera is that it eliminates red eye and gives more natural looking sculpting to the lighting on the subject.
By further modifying the light with umbrellas and diffusing material creates softer light with less harsh shadows, although you do pay in a slightly less output of the light falling on the subject.
LumiQuest is a popular brand that has many light modifying accessories as well as HonL. David Hobby popularized the strobist concept.
The Chimera mini softbox with speedring attached to the Bogen nano compact light stand is my favorite setup for the quality of light and size this setup affords.
