Im Pretty sure I have read every post in this forum that has to do with lighting and I still don't know what I should get! I would like 3 lights I already have the nikon sb-700. I can spend $500. What would you get?
I have a lot of lighting equipment.I have used a lot of different types of modifiers. For the beginner, I have believed, for a long,long time, that MODELING LIGHTS HELP tremendously. Modeling lights allow the beginning shooter to SEE, literally, what the lights are doing. He whole Strobist thing is great for shooters who have experience and a feel for what light does,and how it behaves. Beginners do not. So...I would buy three Adorama Flashpoint 320M modeling lights, the on-sale 2-way barn doors, and the on-sale 40 degree grid for the barndoors, three 9.5 foot light stands, and three umbrellas. I would also buy one of the $59 Adorama softboxes for the 320M's. Three, identical, 150 watt-second monolights, and three identical light stands.
The next accessory I would buy would be the biggest beauty dish I could get, and a grid. And a white nylon "sock" diffuser.
