I received an e-mail last week from corporate that I'll be getting a fairly significant bouns check in a week or two. Although my intial thoughts were to stuff a good portion into an interest bearing account and do the usual splurge on self for Xmas and BD (January), I've thrown my hands up in the air and cried WTF, buy what I want and be happy for any leftovers. I've been reading on the use of studio strobes for a while and PCB seems to be a good (enough) place to start.
I've decided (I think) to go with the White Lightning strobes instead of the Alien Bees. The price difference isn't significant and I have a 'further down the road' mindset. I believe further down the road I will be happier with better build quality, more consistant color temps and more flexibility with light control. With that, here is myXmas list for Santa.
I will supplement a multi-light setup with my Nikon SBs for the time being.
Please give me some resources for the light modifiers that will work on the WL / AB lines (7" reflector). BUT I DON'T WANT CHEAP $HIT, as in material, construction, handling, etc.
Thanks to all the Santa's little helpers out there in cyberland.
