Anyone think this is a good deal for a Photography background kit?

Did a photoshoot with my sister today. Finally got to use the stuff I got last week! Didn't have any batteries though so I could only take a few shots with the batteries left inside my strobes >.>

This is my budget strobist kit so far. SB600, YN460II, RF-602s to trigger them and some stands and backdrops. Need to upgrade a few things though :P

how do you like the yn460?

stupid f'in rainy days. :failed:

No. Not enough power unless you're shooting static subjects.

.

8 tiles, nope! Lol

^ Are you planning to hit up the Lunar Fest at the Aquarium? :)

^ didn't even know about it. Haha just looked it up. Perhaps I'll check it out this weekend!

I like it a lot, I haven't really ran into any problems with it since I'm just using it as off camera strobes. To be honest, I don't really trust anything to go onto my hotshoe other than Nikon because I'm too scared of it shorting or something lol.

Might actually order another one for a third light source, but don't really want to buy another light stand, receiver, umbrella, etc. lol

What if I got better lights?

Just picked this up today.

Your horizon is crooked

:troll:

What do you mean by "better"? You can get brighter lights, but the problem with bright continuous lights is that when shooting people, the lights are so bright that they tend to squint.

How much you picked it up for?

$820. pricematched it with memory express at broadway camera.

i found a bird sanctuary in North Van, didn't even know it was there. not much going on, cold, rain...brrrrr, was crazy just being there. i'll be back when it warms up though, took a shot from the beach. this is directly across from it.

^^^ Maplewood Flats. I've never had any luck there.

that's what I did when I first got my wide angle, took shots from my driveway lol

^ woah.

Bad? Yay or nay? I don't know how I feel about it. I think its too much colour but then I look at the others I took today and this one wins them all.
It was hand-held as well while walking my dog. Dog was off leash though. He's actually behind the tree/bushes on the right. You can't see him anyways. hah

where did you take this? did you PS it?
