Hi Everyone,
i joined this forum hoping to get some advice on lights... I specialize in portraiture. Im looking into getting my first "pro" set of studio lights, but im not sure what to look for. I still use film, and i will be investing in a DSLR with in the next two years, but i want to invest in a high quality lighting set right now - im not looking for a beginner's kit. i dont know the terms to use, but i do know that i need a set of lights that will be bright enough for me to use 50ASA film with a shutter speed of 1/60 and an f-stop of 8... i do alot of full body shots and portraits of groups of ppl. im not sure what all the lighting terms are, since ive been using natural lighting for pretty much my entire career (5 years) or borrowing someone else's lights. I was told that alienbees is a good route to go... does anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance for all of the help, i really appareciate it!!!
