An exceptional flash

Stop breaking the bank with the flashes of yellow or red marks ... follow my gaze. I use my Yongnuo flashes in manual to make strobist or the photo studio (see results here: [...]). These strobes work perfectly and are very easy to adjust (which is not the case of brand flashes). Warning Yongnuo YN560-II does not work in TTL, why you should take out the last model (a little more expensive but equally effective).
Be aware that it is best to use a flash in manual, the result is much better. Indeed, in TTL flash analyzes the light reflected from the subject. This does not always work very well try to photograph a bride in a white dress and you will understand that nothing is better than a manual use.
In most cases the flashes of photographers sleeping in a closet or a bag where they only come out rarely. It is therefore not useful to spend several hundred euros for a material with very occasional use. If the manual setting scares you, be aware that mastery in less than a minute. Here is how I do it: I put my flash drive. I then adjusted to half power 1 / 32th, after adjusting the lens focal length 35mm, for example). These settings are simple a button puts you on the desired setting (focal or flash output) then you press + or less to display the desired value. You shoot. If there is too much light you switch the flash output from 1 / 32th to 1 / 64th. By doing this, you just said Flash further reduces its power by half. You take a new photo. And you do this until the correct setting. Once it found, you can keep the setting for all future photo series.
