I have a strobe and umbrella. I had bought a photoflood light & stand because it was really cheap. However, I soon found out that the bulbs last about 30 seconds and they don't put out as much light as they look like thay do. I was doing a bit of experimenting the other night and trying out both lights, staring with the photoflood http://www.pbase.com/wendybeard/image/38590040 The toffee enticed a visitor down to the basement so I gave up with that lamp and went back to the strobe http://www.pbase.com/wendybeard/image/38599057 Experimenting with light is fun http://www.pbase.com/wendybeard/image/38619389 and with digital I get the instant feedback too. Great for learning what works and doesn't. Surprising what that 100mm f3.5 macro lens can do too. Wendy
