It's time to purchase some studio lighting. I plan on doing portraits but I also need to shoot some interiors.
Below is both my shopping list, and what i already own. Please advice what else i might need immediately. I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting. I know it will depend on what i'm shooting but i'm looking more for things like "don't forget you need a hot shoe adapter to trigger the strobes". Or if you suggest I get one item in place of another. That kind of thing. And to stay on schedule i need to order today! ![]() Thanks! ![]() My Shopping List ------------------------- (2) AB 400 (1) AB 800 22" Pan Reflector w/sock 20˚ Honeycomb Grid Litemod Barn Doors Unit Mainframe for modifiers/accessories 48" Silver/White Umbrella Hot Shoe Adapter Backlight Stand (3) Bees travel bags I Already Own... ------------------------- 2 air-cushioned light stands 1 shoot-thru white umbrella 5-in-1 reflector Boom and bulldog clips for reflector (1) Nikon SB800 Speedlight w/lightstand adapter __________________

Good stuff.
I am going a little differently. *I bought 2 of the B800 units and I'll be going back for 2 of the B400... *I want the Key and fill lights to be the same power modules so that getting ratios spot on is cake. *Having a little more power is good...and even in a small space I can dial them down to about 1/4 power and they are great. I want my background and hair lights to be the same as well. *Green for main and fill... yellow for background and hair. (easy for helpers that aren't photographers as well) I can also use two 400's for rear butterfly lighting on hair and an 800 on the axis of the camera 2 feet above for some great 3/4 length shots.... Honeycomb grids are on my list as well. (2 sets) Julio |

LOL
Ya, i'm sure i'll add at least another 800 eventually. And i'm doing the same thing with color, each power range will be in it's own color. Easier for me to quickly identify too! ![]() So with the list i have, i won't need anything else to shoot with my D70? I know the bees come with the necessary cables and I got the hot shoe adapter. I have looked at that cheap ebay wireless solution... maybe i'll get that next. __________________
