Subject: lighting

Question
I am starting to get back into portrait shooting. If I buy umbrella lighting (blk/wht only) should I buy strobe or reg. lighting?

Answer
A small strobe will be cheaper and more versatile.  You could buy a regular on flash strobe then mount it on the umbrella stand and trigger it remotely.  You, then, could use the strobe for everyday shooting.

Regular lighting will be more consistent, more expensive and less portable.

Good luck.

Mark
