Is this beauty dish worth getting?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Strobies-Beauty-Dish-STR102-Flex-Mount-needed-/370359636406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0
Im only 17, so I don’t have much cash….
I have a Nikon D200 w/ and External Flash to use it with
I don’t think that is worth getting even at that low price. It is too small. While it will be an improvement over the regular flash it will not be effective to give a beauty dish look.
A beauty dish works best when used close. A distance of 1.5 to 3 times the diameter of the dish to give the ‘beauty dish’ look . If further away it acts just like a reflector of that size.
There are a lot of DIY beauty dish projects on the web. If you are handy you can build one. http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157623283725901/?search=beauty+dish+diy
I would get a couple of umbrellas before I got a beauty dish. Buy a stand, an umbrella/Flash Mount and a cable or set of radio triggers. You will have a better setup that will give you more flexibility.
Since you are interested in better light (good for you) check out http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/02/welcome-to-strobist.html Lots of good information.
