- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Didn't come to argue, just thought a fellow photog could point me in the right direction for a start in equipment. It doesn't have to be high end, just workable.
Lots of kits out there, thought that might be a way to start, need recommendations for which one could work.
Everyone starts somewhere....you did, too.
My point was that you CANNOT do this decently for $200.00!
Adorama flashpoint 320's are $100 each (cheapest light I would recommend) You could get some speedlight cheaper... but they would be much more difficult to use, especially with little experience. Stands... $50 each.. umbrellas and adapters... decent ones... another $100... so maybe $400 minimum!
But you still have to know how to use them!
$100 umbrella? **** that; I paid a little over that for a 22" beauty dish.
How about a 320m, stand and softbox for $160? That's a lot less than $400 for one light, stand, and umbrella.
Flashpoint II FP320SB2 Monolight Kit, 150 Watt Second FP320SB2
That would be $100 for two umbrellas and two adapters (if needed) although admittedly with the monos, the adapters would not be needed. Can you get cheaper... yes... are they worth it, NO! I qwas pricing for two of everything.. if it wasn't obvious....
