[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 10049, member: 2176"] Ranie, great portrait work. I just picked up a 2nd SB-900, and am looking forward to experimenting a little. May ask for some pointers once it arrives :) Was debating over whether I want to look at light stands with umbrella mounts or soft boxes. I also have a set of strobes I'm going to be borrowing from my Dad (a retired photographer) long-term, looking forward to experimenting with those, too. We always used the strobes with silver umbrellas, and added a single flash for fill light, but I'm finding a lot of good information online about other ways to do it. The strobe kit has 3 heads, but the power pack supports 4, and it looks like an extra head wouldn't be all that expensive online. I also have the Nikon CLS DVD sitting on a shelf, probably time to watch it :) [/QUOTE]
