Lighting kit?

jake123

I've played with the ikea fluorescent light tent now, and it's pretty fun.

Now I want a bit more control, so do you guys know the cheapest way to start out?

I've done some research on the strobist approach, but the recommended flashes for the approach is quite hard to find/expensive/unreliable now (vivitar 285hv, sunpak 383, nikon sb-24)... Also, I don't think something like the impact kit: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr ... Umbrella_Mount.html is available in Canada?

I wanted the genesis kit http://www.calumetphoto.com/item/CF0502K1/ when it was $299 usd and parity, but I didn't have the fund then(poor student...)... But now the sale is gone and calumet doesn't ship to Canada there's a problem.

Do you guys have any equipment/price suggestions for me? Thanks!

I would suggest you to try with the continue light source first.

Get those Flood light, ~ 500W, easy to use, buy 2 set, may be $100 .. ( plus stand or your own tripod)

The only draw back it ..  the ...

Hot lights seem to be interesting, I'll do some more price research on it.

Apparently there's a 2 150w/s light kit for 249 USD... http://www.adorama.com/PAINT120.html. I think prices for hot lights will come to something like that? Is this enough power for the price, provided that I can somehow use the border mail and parcel warehouse services?

買埋都係得個"擺"字，同埋呢D野真係沒完沒了，未洗濕個頭，好快D收手

It's true that can happen... I'm weighing the options.

The only draw back it ..  they are HOT .. but not big deal for Canada.
