This girl is very pretty. I have seen her profile and photo on a biker singles site ridermatch.com. She is seeking a man who like to ride with her.

Hisham/Egypt,
1 — Yep.
2 — Yep.
3 — Not sure what you mean by this, there isn’t a cable running from the flash to the camera.
4 — It’s not. White and silver umbrellas reflect. The umbrellas with black, just have black on the outside of them to avoid light splitting backwards. It just gives you more control.

Hi Rick, I am Hisham, from Egypt and work Graphic Designer.
Photography is essential to my work whether it is “Print Design or Web Design”. I am newbie to photography but learned a lot from your blogs with thanks, I need to have basic knowledge so I can discuss shooting situations and required results with photographers or at least give suggestions.

Please correct me if I am wrong, am I understanding right when I say:

1- Trigger: Is a remote control device fixed in Hotshoe which is fixed on top of Camera.

2- Receiver: Is a remote control device fixed on top of Flash using Velcro,Flash sits into Hotshoe which is fixed using it’s locking nut to the stand.

3- The moment you shoot trigger fixed on camera, the receiver on top of flash shoots light, as they are connected with cable. Is these 3 points right !

4- In nature law, Black absorbs and White reflects. Why is it opposite in Umbrellas.

Sorry if I look idiot in some of the above.
