I need some help, I had a brain hemmorage on my brain stem 2 years and 2 months ago. For quit a few years before the injury happened I dabbled in quit a bit of photo taking, practicing shooting anything and everything, learning about my camera and settings, playing with defusers, learning about light etc. I have always had a strong liking for still life. This is not a job for me, just a hobby.
Anyways, it's been over 2 years and I'm still not driving so going out and shooting lots of things I cannot do. I also have some left side coordination issues and weakness which mentally has been preventing me from playing with the expensive equipment. I'm afraid I will drop it. After thinking I decided it's time for me to pick something and go all the way with it. I was thinking portrait (indoors) I have always had a big liking for it and since I can't really leave the house, why not play with portraits. I practiced with it before and tourtered my fur kids as my models lol. I know I grew out of the lighting I was using before, which was Home Depot stuff but using that stuff, I learned a lot. I'm past that now, I need better stuff to grow and move forward. The only thing is, I was thinking continues (sp) light as I can't run back and fourth. I still have dizziness going on which prevents me from moving to much around or driving. Anyways, I was looking at the Spider light continues (sp) td 6 it is the shallow soft box 36x48 I think as I thought that would be easier for me in my current situation. I do have 2 strobes that have not been used, I purchased the poor things before the injury and have never used them. They are just sitting in a closet. I think I should just leave them alone for a bit. Also I do have the nifty fifty lol.. That's to big for the inside of my house. I could really use a recommendation on a lense as well. I also signed up on Kelbyone.com because again I'm not driving so if anyone has any advice for me with on line stuff that would be great. I will strongly appreciate any and all the help and advice I get.
I have the Nikon D200
