Photography is incredibly expensive. Whether you do it for a hobby or a profession unless you’re Peter Lik I’m sure you would like to save some bucks.<\/p>\n

There are ways to save a lot of money when purchasing camera gear. In this article we are\u00a0going to show you how to do exactly that.<\/p>\n

I orginally got the idea for this article from another written by Jim Harmer over at Improve Photography.<\/h3>\n

I have taken the liberty of expanding on a couple of my favorites on his list and I’ll send you back to his original article before we are done here. So here’s the list<\/p>\n

#1 Speedlights<\/h3>\n

Did You Know You Can Get 4 Speedlights and a Radio Transmitter for under $600?<\/h4>\n

There are a variety of very popular budget Speedlight\u2019s on the market today. One set of photographers will tell you they are complete junk while another will totally swear by them. I personally use them and have never had any problems. You can purchase a great setup at\u00a025% of the cost of brand name.<\/p>\n

At the front of the pack when it comes to budget Speedlight\u2019s is a company called Yongnuo. These are the flashes I shoot with. In the pictures\u00a0below you\u2019ll see 4 of their most recent and expensive flashes. I have included a video demo of these in action on the next page as well.<\/p>\n

\"Attention<\/p>\n

These are the YONGNUO YN600EX-RT Master TTL Flash Speedlite for Canon<\/a>\"\"<\/strong>\u00a0Flashes. They are almost the exact same thing as the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite Flash<\/a>\"\"<\/strong>. The big difference is the price. You can pick up the YONGNUO YN600EX-RT Master TTL Flash Speedlite for Canon<\/a><\/strong>\"\" for $127.50 on Amazon right now and you can get free shipping with a prime account. The Canon 600EX-RT costs $499 with free prime shipping. So total cost of 4 Flashes is $510 just barely above the cost of one Canon Flash.<\/p>\n

Add to that the on camera controller. The\u00a0Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter<\/a><\/strong>\"\"\u00a0is $264.00 with Amazon Prime. The\u00a0YONGNUO YN-E3-RT E3-RT E3RT TTL Flash Speedlite Wireless Transmitter for Canon<\/a><\/strong>\"\"\u00a0is only $86.96 with prime.<\/p>\n

Canon setup grand total $2260.00
\nYongnou setup grand total $596.96
\nGRAND TOTAL SAVINGS= $1663.04<\/p>\n

The video here\u00a0is the Yongnuo set up in action. \u00a0Basically he is creating a very small version of a high key setup. I have done the exact same thing before in my home studio garage with some great results. My high key portraiture is one of the most requested services by my clients and I always use Yongnuo’s to light them.<\/p>\n

The links below will take you to Amazon and I’m putting yet another video on the next page with an unbiased review from a pro photographer who has both the Canon and Yongnuo.<\/p>\n
