Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here, and I tried to be patient and read as much as possible before creating a post, but I have some specific questions that I'd like to ask at this point.
Ok I'm pretty much an amateur/beginner at this point, and I just want to learn, grow and improve.
Mostly, I want to start with portrait photos.
I bought some basic lighting equipment on Ebay, and your comments on that are welcome - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:31&Item=120042196041
I know that for portrait photos, I need to have a main light, and then another light for the hair and shoulders, but not sure about a 3rd or 4th light.
Which brings me to my first question - Will I need a 3rd light to eliminate shadows, or are these two lights enough?
Again, all feedback and suggestions regarding some beginner's equipment are welcome.
I'm thinking of buying one or two cool lightbulbs, and was looking at these:
