Hi Gang,
So this is sure to be the first of many posts from me. Not sure why it's taking me so long to join a forum.
I'm really needing some guidance, I've had no experience with Softboxes but I'm wanting to assemble my first kit.
Am I better off to buy everything separately, the stand, the modifier etc. or is there a kit someone could suggest (maybe Westcott?)
This is to be used indoors and sometimes outdoors and is mainly so I can learn more about lighting. I'd rather not get something cheap and flimsy, but would like to stay around the $500 maximum mark price wise.
I'll be using it with an SB-900 and for portraits.
Apologies if I sound a bit vague, I've not got anyone I can speak to in person about photography, none of my friends are photographers. I have been watching loads of YouTube videos though.
Any help or discussion on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I feel as though I'm drowning in options and unsure where the quality lies.
Thanks in advance,
Jesse.
