Lately I've been thinking about doing more setup shots, especially location shots. Outdoors you usually need more power because of the much brighter ambient conditions, especially with the days getting longer (at least in the northern hemisphere). In terms of capacity to overpower the sun (even with a large modifier), a studio strobe is much more powerful than hotshoe flashes. If you don't know anything about strobes, this post is for you.
BTW, strobes can mean different things to people. I use the term to refer to big flashes. First, I'll discuss their advantages and disadvantages compared to hotshoe flashes. Next I'll talk about the main types of strobes. I'll then discuss the strobe that I'd like to get, then finally I'll talk about remote adjustment options.
