Hi everyone, my names Matt and I'm new to OCF
Can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for in the search.
I have recently purchased some triggers stands and umbrellas for my 580EXII and 550EX.

Can someone point me to some threads on how and where to setup the lights for different situations?
outside portraits
inside portraits
where to place the units
Why it's important to have different levels of light from different angles...etc..

Thanks so much, I'm sure there's a wealth of information....I just can't seem to find it. I started with the stickies...Maybe I missed something?

Read this thread, pay attention to the direction where the light is coming from. There are some setup shots and some tutorial stuff but its more about letting it soak in.
