Even before you start using flashes and monolights, there's a lot you can learn from this book as far as reflectance and how light behaves.
Your initial query was so vague as to be essentially useless.Keith,Uh....how much money? What kind of lighting (continuous, strobed)?I would like some recommendations on some very basic lighting set ups just to start practicing with lighting.
Any simple little things just to see effects that different sources provide.
Also, when I have the money, what would be a good starting place as far as purchasing?
You can buy reflectors (white foamboard, silver car windshield sunlight deflectors) at Wal-mart or Staples for <$4.

I like the thrifty suggestions you made, that's what I was looking for. Just something to play around with.
Also, thanks for the link to Google. I google stuff all the time, and sometimes feel like it is information overload. I thought I'd get a quicker answer here. If we shouldn't ask questions that can obviously be answered by googling the question, why even have a forum to help beginners?
