The flash heads can either be triggered via synch cord or integrated slave and have built-in modeling lights. All for less than $200.
I would suggest looking for something like that (flash heads) rather than the hot lights you are looking at. I used tungsten and halogen lights for a while and found that they are just too hot. HTH. -- Christian ================ Yeah, I've been looking at stuff like that on ebay all day (once I was steered in the right direction). Seems like the way to go to start out. I'll see if I can find a deal like you got. Thanks for your input. Marnie aka Doe (Egad, even more to learn.)
