Osaka, or rather Japan as a whole, is a very bright city. Lights everywhere!

2012 was a year of learning photography, I got myself some lighting, umbrella and started playing around with it. Here's one example of a simple lighting setup at home, used while trying out a personal project

You don't need wireless transmitters and receivers to be able to do off-camera flash lighting, the most simple chorded setups will do just fine, unless you are outdoors and have more than one lighting to trigger. With that said, you still need a external flash though ;)

Looking forward to learn more about lighting in 2013!
