Photography Lighting Kits Portable
What recommendations do you have for basic studio lighting?
I am a relatively new amature photographer that wants to purchase fairly portable lighitng for portraiture, product work, and large group photos. I will have occasional need for posed sports portraits. I'm looking for reliable medium quality equipment that I can travel (primarily by car) that's affordable and will support me as I move into more serious photography (portraiture). I plan to start with a basic set of 3 units (main, fill, and hair or backdrop) and the set should be flexible that at least 2 of the units can play any role needed in the shoot. Kits are also acceptable. I DO NOT need battery based equipment, but a battery option would be a bonus.
Novatron makes a 3 light kit including stands, umbrellas and power pack. This of course is a flash system which is the only thing you should consider. Don't even think about "hot lights".
