Articles I’ve written about flash photography:

Equipment

Canon calls them Speedlites, Nikon uses Speedlights. They are external flash units powered by 4 AA batteries. If you have other flash units that have power ratio i.e their output can be manually set for 1/2, 1/4 etc, then you’re all set. Even the old workhorse Vivitar 285HV will work.

Triggers:

Hard wire
Radio slaves
Infra-red or proprietary Nikon/Canon

Hard wire

Canon
Nikon

Radio slaves

These usually consist of a transmitter and one or more receivers. Capable of triggering your flashes from big distances. Reliability depends on what you pay. The more expensive ones are better built and have multiple channels so you can choose one that works best if there is interference.

Proprietary Infrared Nikon or Canon are based on line-of-sight. These triggers work best indoors where the infra-red signal from the transmitter can bounce around an enclosed space. Outdoors, they are unreliable.

Power Source

For fast flash recycling, obviously an external power source is needed. The lightest solutions are ones powered by AA batteries.
