I'd like to set up a small studio in my basement. Probably mostly some still life work and a little portrait photography. I already purchased a Smith Victor basic lighting set consisting of 2 stands, 2 sockets, 2 reflectors, and 2 shoot-through umbrellas. I don't think this puts out enough light to do much, but for $40 it was worth it for just the stands.
I'm thinking of purchasing the following:
2 Neewer 750MKII flashes (in addition to 1 I have)
2 Altura wireless trigger setups which would give me a total of 4 remote units.
3 mounts to hold flashes and umbrellas on top of standard stands.
1 additional stand (recommendations?)
I can get all of the above in the $200 range which fits the budget (been buying too much gear to spend more.)
I also already have a small softbox that can go on one flash, the other two I'd use with the umbrellas to start.
Would this give me enough to do some learning without getting frustrated?
