this guys stuff is great - particularily liked the recent 'strobist' offering.
Out of interest how many strobist fans are on here?
yep, strobist fam.
Excellent.....I used to have a poster of the last image in the original link (the guard jumping over the barbed wire) - the original pic, not the lego one. Got it from Checkpoint Charlie.
Some great ideas there.
I've gone through phases of being interested in strobist but never had the cash for the kit so not taken any off camera stuff myself.
One of my all time favourites

It's not as expensive as you think. I got a SB-600 for Christmas/Birthday and bought the rest myself.
Umbrella £10 ebay including clamp attachment.
Lighting stand £15 ebay.
SB-24 - £50 ebay
Wireless triggers - £20 ebay.
Not too bad if you shop around.
ah but then it starts getting silly when you find your ebay triggers play up (I had several and they begin to get on your nerves after a while) and you decide to shell out for pocket wizards or similar. However, you cant beat £10 brollies - especially when stands blow over and they snap.
Just been looking at your flickr stream, some nice stuff there - see you are london based - have you thought of joining the london strobist group (yet another opportunity to go and spend weekends meeting strange folk of the internet - except these dont dress up in lycra) - heres some of the stuff I did at our last meet:

Nice stuff there., I recognise the location too. Yeah I might join that group. Bit busy studying a bit at the moment but fancy getting a few tips on lighting.
Might take a trip to Brixton skate park again to shoot some stuff down there again too.
If you want cheap external flashes then these look great

be interesting to see the what the quality is like on the cactus one (given the issues with the newer 285s) - personally I would go for an older Nikon SB (24/28) (although these now suffer from the strobist effect on ebay) or an 'old' vivitar 283 (to which you can add manual control via a potentiometer or a VP-1 add on) or and old 285 (no HV).
be interested to see the MPEX offering - trouble with ordering from them is you always end up getting stung for import duty etc
cheesy feet how much do you want for a print fo this picture?
