[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 380507, member: 9556"] Ok.. This is not really an easy answer considering everything :D Firstly, you need to put a number up in terms of how much you want to spend. Secondly, you need to decide what you want to do - if portraits/headshots/glamour etc.. or if it's gonna be on location, outdoors etc.. Once you answer the above 2, a lot of the rest becomes easier. But it does need tons of research & learning before you actually buy something.. you should buy the best you can at any given point rather than settling for something lesser due to money, cos sooner or later you will buy the more expensive one. Flashes & Strobes are 2 different beasts... both have their own pro's & cons. Go for Flash if you will predominantly shoot outdoors.. also it is a good starting point... which will help you with strobes as well. Would always recommend Nikon first the SB700 or the SB900.. if price is a real big factor, then the Yongnuo YN565s are excellent from what i've heard. For strobes, do not hold back.. you get what you pay for... Modifiers - You'll probably need softboxes & umbrellas... and a whole lot more :D Let's know your thoughts so far on the above [/QUOTE]
