home studio lighting

[indeedies]

I saw a thread a couple of days ago that had a link to a site that sold an entire studio setup and was wondering if anyone else could remember what it was? My grandma got me an iPod touch for Christmas and some other electronics but I already had this stuff so now she says I can return them and get photography stuff!! I have about $500 to spend and was thinking of rigging my house so I can do nice portraits.

Here's what I have so far:
Nikon D50, D70s, SB600, 50 1.8, 18-55 4.0-5.6, and 55-200 VR 4.0-5.6.
I was thinking about getting the 70-200mm 2.8 but that seems out of the price range and I really want to be able to shoot indoors.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks everyone

An umbrella or a soft box to start. Check out Strobist: Lighting 101 to get started. GL

Hi! I was looking for something in regards to home studio lighting, and that link really helped! I found his blog before, but never this particular bit... Although how I missed it is beyond me. Thanks for posting it, it's already answered quite a few of my newb questions!
