If so can you recommend;-
a) which umbrella
b) which extension (or what are they called) from camera to flash unit
c) other basics
The reason for asking this is because of buying from Warehouse express I need to make sure I'm asking for the right things.

If you have not tried off camera flash then it may be beneficial to have a go at a bit of still life for lighting practice. You do need to consider that if you end up buying a lighting kit these come with stands and brollys.
I will see if a standard rain umbrella lined with crumpled then flattened kitchen foil will work as a starter as cost is would be pennies. Just need to come up with some sort of DIY holder.
Duncan has answered the brolly/stand bit but I am struggling to find info on the Canon 480 flash and also triggering options.
URGENT NEED OF INPUT FROM CANON USERS.
