If only life was so simple, Tim.

If you have even light falling equally on both subject and background, the fastest glass will not find contrast to lift your subject from the background and give the image life. So you can either darken your background or add light to your subject, and the latter is usually easier. Often all you need is a single off-axis strobe which not only brightens your subject a stop or two, but also can add some defining shadow to the subject.

Everybody should have a remote-able flash in their kit to play with. It's a very (ahem) enlightening experience.

handy (and cheap) way of storing and carrying these things.
Maybe appropriately sized PVC piping and end caps?  Or, if you don't need so
much sturdy, cardboard tubes.
