Nikon SB Flash on an AS-10 and Bogen Swivel Umbrella Adapter

The most important lighting accessory is the Bogen Swivel Umbrella Adapter (20) that holds both the flash and the umbrella and allows directional positioning. There are also similar brackets, including one that holds two flash units which used to be available (I'm not sure because I can't find it on Saunders web site) from Domke. Shown is the Bogen bracket on a light stand. The AS-10 is at the top holding my SB-24 and the SC-18 (back side) is connected to my CoolPix.

Resources used to research my lighting equipment purchases

"Adventures in Location Lighting" by Jon Falk

	It appears to be self published and sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company. My copy is from 1990 and is the fourth edition.
	A great resource to professional photographers who travel. He thoroughly describes both battery operated flash systems as well as AC (or generator) powered systems.

"Secret of Lighting on Location" by Bob Krist ISBN 0-8174-5823-9

Aside from the how-to diagrams and picture examples, he describes the choices he's made in his lighting purchases and why he made them, including the cases he travels with.
