Reletively new to Photography. I have a D300 and need recommendations on Studio lighting for portraits ETC. I bought a couple of umbrella lights (video lights...stay on all the time...not the flash) but not happy with the results.
My Equipment:
D300 w/ tripod... 80mm 1.4 for Portraits.... 18-200mm for general photography
SB800 Flash
backdrops and stand
umbrella lights w/ stands
Can someone recommend a studio lighting kit.... want to keep it on the economical side at this time.
Thanks in advance.
Andy

I think the d300 will fire your sb800 off camera, what about another flash (sb900?) and a few stands??

Even some slaves with your sb800 off cam. I think it will trigger slaves. Thats prob going to be your cheapest route

Thanks for the responses. I am working to get my SB 800 working off camera. Should not be too hard.
Meanwhile, can anyone recommend some slaves? I was looking at a monolight kit like this one

Most studio lights do have a built in slave, but not all, it doesn't mention it in the (limited) info, I'd email the company concerned and check (then you have it in writing) I'd also look at the prices of other set-ups, you might be better off buying a well known make even if it costs a bit more.

Floodlight is first thing that should be set up. But the main question is that where to place it. It will totally depends on the effects on which you are looking. But basically it is kept upto 45 degrees.
