This Friday, I'm shooting some modeling shots for a friend so that she can use them in a few publications. We have decided the locations where we want to shoot and I'll be scoping them out this week, getting a feel for the light and where the shadows fall during the time we'll be shooting (about 2 PM EST to 7 PM EST).
I only have one strobe, a 430EX, and am concerned that I won't be able to fill in shadows well enough or get the precise lighting I want with the single strobe. I have an off-camera cord for the strobe so that offers me a bit more flexibility.
My question is this: Aside from buying a 580EX II, is there a "cheap" ($50-$100) way to rig up either a) a way to move my 430EX off the camera as a side fill or b) a secondary light source that could function as side fill. I'm really looking for a nifty DIY (Do-It-Yourself) solution that is inventive and doesn't require me buying an expensive piece of gear.
Thanks,
Mat
